Key specifications at a glance

Firmware protection for removable storage

The drive uses digitally signed, secured firmware with RSA-2048 protection. This helps guard against malicious firmware changes, making it a practical choice for transferring files between systems where device security matters. The drive is unencrypted, so consider whether encryption is required for your data-handling needs.

Physical control over writing

A physical write-protect switch lets you prevent data being written to the drive when protection is needed. This can help reduce the risk of accidental changes during file transfers. Password protection provides another access-control feature.

Fast transfers and broad system support

With read speeds up to 300 MB/s and write speeds up to 200 MB/s, the FlashTrust supports brisk file transfers over USB 3.2 Gen 1. Actual speeds can vary with the host system and files being transferred.

It supports Windows, Mac and Linux. Listed compatibility includes Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, Mac OS X 10.1.5 or later, and Linux distributions including Ubuntu 10 or later. Linux drives must be mounted.
