      LABS GALLERY: Lexar JumpDrive SAFE S3000 FIPS Takes a Beating and Keeps on ReadingBy Matthew D. Sarrel

      2Installation

      2

      The first time I inserted the JumpDrive SAFE S3000 FIPS into my Windows Vista 64 PC, drivers were automatically installed and the JumpDrive icon appeared.

      3Unencrypted Volume

      3

      Double-clicking the JumpDrive icon opened the unencrypted volume. At this point, I could choose between running the PC or Mac OS application.

      4Passphrase

      4

      When the application launches, the user is asked for a passphrase. If the passphrase is entered incorrectly multiple times, the device deletes all data from itself.

      5Locked Up

      5

      After entering the correct passphrase, a lock icon appears in the system tray.

      6SAFE

      6

      Finally, the SAFE volume appears as drive H:, which is accessible when the user is logged into the drive. Once the user logs out, the volume can no longer be accessed.

      7Torture Testing

      7

      After several weeks of torture testing, the Lexar JumpDrive SAFE S3000 FIPS looked somewhat worse for wear, but continued to function as it did when new.

      8Bloody but Unbowed

      8

      Here is another photo of the torture-tested JumpDrive.

      9It Keeps Going …

      9

      For comparison, heres the normal USB flash memory after it took a dive off of the roof of my four-story building. Surprisingly, it still works.

      10Smashed Drive

      10

      The IronKey Enterprise S200 FIPS withstood a similar beating while looking (cosmetically) slightly worse for wear.
