I tried USB Flash Security which messed up one of my drives when I tried to format it and now I can't find the hidden partition (it doesn't matter because it's only a 1GB free test drive).Īttach the 1GB flasj drive. On Windows 7 type CMD in the search box and Right Click > Run as Administrator. Type the following commands if you do not need data on the flash drive. It's very important you select the correct number.Ĭlean all This will zero out the flash drive, This is why you need to have the correct disk selected in the previous command.įormat fs=ntfs label=USBflash quick Substitute fat32 for ntfs if you want the file system to be fat32 Select disk X Where X is the number associated with the flash drive. I don't think #3 is possible on a normal USB flash drive. You could take it to any computer and zero out the drive using a live linux disk if you found a way to prevent Windows from formatting the flash drive. You can look at Veracrypt to encrypt a USB and have a password to mount the drive but Veracrypt need to be installed on the computer.Įdited by JohnC_21, 20 January 2017 - 04:48 PM.The speed at which this USB drive can copy files is amazing. SanDisk claims a read speed of up to 200MB/s and write speed of 150MB/s. I copied some old photo dumbs in a jiffy, faster than I could take a screenshot. #Sandisk secure access review fullįor the full speed, however, you will need at least one port that offers USB 3.1 on your laptop or PC. The SanDisk Secure Access software offers encryption for documents you might want to keep private. So you can put certain files, or the entire USB itself under lock and key. I used the drive on a Mac, where the Secure Access had to be installed on the drive itself. Once you have set up the access, the software is easy to use. I suggest you put all your files under password protection, except for those you might want to share with others using this drive. The only issue I faced was when moving folders, this drive seems to take time figuring out how long it will take to complete the task. While the actual copying of files is fast, this is an irritant. It seems to happen when you have folder with a lot of files in it. It even got stuck a couple of times I tried on Mac.
