Some believe that USB flash driveshave changed technology for the best. In fact, the widespread successes ofthese devices have made the CD/DVD drives superfluous. However, these devicesare not only limited to storing data -- today, you can use this device to bootup your personal windows desktop on any PC (given the fact that the PCpossesses the hardware performance requirements). Storage capacity on thesetiny drives are increasing rapidly, in fact, theres also rumors on theinternet that a 1000 gigabyte USB flash drive will soon be available on theconsumer market. However, thats a different story all together, we are here todiscuss Imations latest innovative device: Iron Key. Imations new product Iron Key maynot be a ground breaking innovation to most. However, the concept of bootableWindows 8 operating system is certainly to excite some Windows lovingfreaks. You no longer have to lug aroundyour laptop wherever you go, in order to access your data. Iron Key lets employees, professionals, andmilitary personnel access their windows desktop from virtually any type ofcomputer equipped with a USB port. All one has to do is find a personalcomputer with minimal hardware requirements to run Windows 8, plug in the ironkey, and viola, you now have access to all your personal files on yourpersonalized Windows 8 operating system -- on someone elses PC or MAC. IronKey is based on Windows To Go, an enterprise feature from Windows 8 givingits users a fully portable desktop which can fit in the pocket of your jeans orshirt. The device only enables you to access your Windows 8 desktop while itsplugged in. Once you remove the device from the USB port, the service issuspended and can only be resumed once you plug it back in. The concept of an operating system ona USB drive is nothing new. In fact, similar devices have already been on themarket for some time now. In essence, the Iron Key is engineered to functionlike a hard-drive, making it far more sophisticated than your top-of-the-line USBflash drive and this is something that Imation claims sets Iron Key apartfrom other bootable USB flash drives. However, the Iron Key is far from beingthe perfect bootable flash drive. One of its disappointing factors is that youcannot create a separate storage partition on the device. Second disappointingfactor is its security feature, which is hardware based. Its easy to hackthrough, and virtually anyone determined to steal your data can do so withlittle effort. We recommend you install a third party software, developed to password protect USB drives and other portable hard-drives. In order to boot up Windows 8 fromyour Iron Key, youll need to change the BIOS settings by redirecting the boot-upprocess from your external drive which in this case is your Iron Key. TheIron Key is capable of reading at speed of 300 MB per second and can write dataat speeds of up to 100 MB per second. However, these figures are only true ifyour computer is equipped with a USB 3.0 port. If youre still using a PCthats integrated with USB 2.0 ports, then you can expect to receive much lowerperformance. For more information please visit:http://www.newsoftwares.net/usb-secure/
