This product comes packed in a small box where all the accessories and the unit have their own small compartment. On the top there is a picture of the drive and on the back you can read about its specifications and features.

Inside you will find a quick start guide in two different languages along with a neckstrap and a extensione USB cable.


The drive itself is the same size as most standard usb drives on the market. The colors on my sample is white and blue, and the USB connector is covereted until you remove the cover by pulling it.

When you have removed the cover you will get access to the fingerprint reader and the USB connector itself. I wanted to show you the size of the drive. It's the same length as a Corsair Voyager but the Voyager is a bit thicker itself though.

It feels like the drive can take some beating even though the case itself is made out of plastic. So far I am happy with the drive but the questions is how well it performs.
