Can the Aegis Secure Key thumb drives be used as bootable drives on typical PCs?

No. The drive locks itself automatically when it loses USB power even for a moment. The USB power is always cycled briefly during the boot process and so it appears that the drive always re-locks itself when you try to boot off of it.

Yes I have it used to boot TAILS and Liberte linux on various computers while travelling throughout china.

pretty sure the answer is yes. the mimiting factor isn't necessarily the hardware, but snow leopard. Instructions for boot from a thumb drive are here:http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-mac-snow-leopard-usb-installer-disk/the HD should also work.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

Yes, but you essentially cannot use the SSD drive; it's merely there for faster boot up from what I've heard.

There are NO complicated configuration files for the end user to accidently delete,change, or otherwise tamper with. Also it is bootable. The files remain in there ISO there will be no cross contimination. I have yet to see a virtual drive product for a USB stick that is bootable from the BIOS. (If you know of one, I would like to know what it so I can test it.) Virtual Drive programs that mount an ISO, that I know of, require a running OS to function.

I only use it for my ps3 but im sure u could its set up as fat32 so your computer would recognize it as a flash drive.

I've been able to format every thumb drive smaller than 64GB to FATxx. Don't have any reason why this one would refuse the format.

I haven't tried but I imagine that would depend on the BIOS of the machine you're trying to boot. Drives attached to the ICY Dock look like any USB storage device (thumb drive, hard drive, etc.)

Yes, that should be fine. The security key/socket should accept a 1/2 in drive.

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

Yes the Keyboard Dock Will Accept A USB 2.0 Thumb Drive. It Will Not Support An External Hard Drive or Other Powerd Drives.

Yes. I have done that on some SanDisk USB drives that I do not want password protected.

yes you can no i-anything needed.i had a 16gb flash drive worked just fine.

I believe there is a password protection function that can be enabled, and the cable appears to be a standard A to Micro B USB 3.0. The cable it comes with is definitely very short-- my tower has a USB input at the top and the drive has to sit on top of the tower when I use it or it dangles off my desk.

Yes, you can install any secure boot keys you like, and I believe the keys Intel ships the board with are already capable of booting Microsoft OSes.

No. Once you unlock the flash drive with the password, it acts just like any other one. It's just for basic storage only.

Probably not. This model is a network drive. I use it to store and retrieve data/music from many different computers on my LAN. The USB version should be able to boot directly to a computer.
