Lightning-Fast Speed. The sleek style of JumpDrive Lightning is more than just good looks. Beneath its attractive stainless steel exterior lies massive memory capacity and the power of blazing-fast read/write speeds—4GB capable of minimum sustained speeds of 140X * (18MB/sec) write and 160X (24MB/sec) read—ideal for quickly transferring vast amounts of data.
Includes PowerToGo Virtual Applications Platform. If speed and capacity weren’t enough, JumpDrive Lightning also includes PowerToGo software, a portable working environment that lets you install and run most standard Windows applications from your JumpDrive, so you can carry personalized settings and bookmarks with you wherever you go.
Advanced Security to Protect Your Data. JumpDrive Lightning comes pre-loaded with advanced security software that lets you protect your data quickly, securely, and easily. You can create multiple password protected areas called Encrypted Vaults that automatically encrypt your data with on-the-fly 256-bit AES encryption, while the File Shredder feature securely and thoroughly deletes files so that they can’t be recovered, giving you peace of mind that your data is secure.
