PCLock
By using the Pclock.exe file you can set-up security settings such as rather than using a windows lock pc function why not use this to lock your PC until you connect the easy disk. This would be useful if you wanted to leave your PC / Laptop on in the office whilst you went to lunch etc. Upon your return you just need to insert the disk for the lock to disappear.
From this menu you can set-up the device to be bootable. This device allows for the system not to boot unless the drive is present this is a good feature and will appeal to some, but I would always advise this to be used alongside the other security measures rather than just relying on one system.
Zip
This disk comes with a zip folder. This allows you once you have installed the software for files sent to that folder to be automatically zipped and compressed. This obviously saves you having to manually zip the file and then copy it to the device.
If you have already zipped files then the device and software will not try to attempt to compress them further. It will only zip uncompressed files that are copied to that directory.
Secure disk (secret)
Another folder on the unit is the 'secret' folder. This folder uses the same software as used with the zip folder as mentioned above. And is similar in that any files / folders that are copied into 'secret' will also be compressed but you will also be prompted for an encryption and compression password. To view or send files to that folder you will be greeted by the password prompt this again helps to make the device secure.
Included with the unit is a small 34 page manual which is well written and easy to follow covering the complete operation of the unit although you are likely to either not need it or just glance at it whilst you set-up the device to your preference.
