Having evaluated the device thoroughly, it’s plain to see that iStorage have a novel design here, something which companies, and individuals alike, will find a use for, but at the moment it’s too fiddly and complex to really convince people to use it.
The device itself is up to the usual standard from iStorage, impeccable design and build quality, genuinely a beautifully well-engineered piece, full to the brim with clever anti-hacking technology such as resin bonding the circuitry to the chassis, wear-resistant keys, and a stiff aluminium chassis which will easily protect it from all but the most extreme of treatment.
Setting up the software to a point where you can use the device is easy enough, with few hurdles in the way, but having to set it up on every machine you use instead of being a standalone device is a bit tedious if you happen to change your device often. At the very least, having the software available from within the device would be advantageous, to save you having to download the software from the website every time.
iStorage have presented a device that will be used by companies to great effect, but the whole process really needs to be streamlined, particularly by cutting back on the three pieces of software required for full control, or removing the need for software at all if possible. Having employees use the drive all the time, instead of just saving files to the cloud/their device will be the biggest stumbling block, but at least you know who to blame at that point, instead of an anonymous hacker.
Beautifully well-made. Great idea. Absolute, total security. Just needs to be easier to use on a daily basis.
