Anybody found a way to encrypt the 128GB card? I tried on my MBA but failed.

I see no problems. It is needed to have a guid partition type instead of mbr. It can to be done via Disk Utility. As a variant, just erase it (format) to mac-os, extended, journalized, encrypted.

I encrypted mine. You need to set it up as GUID partition Table. Go into Disk Utility, select the drive, drop down From Partition Layout Current to Partitions 1 (you can rename it in the top right). Then select Options, and select GUID partition table. Please note that you will lose all data on the drive doing this, so back it up first, then you can copy it over once you have set up the drive for encryption. Once Disk Utility finishes, right click on the drive and you can encrypt the drive from the drop down options. FYI - It does reduce disk speed a bit.

All you have to do is enter the password when you insert the USB and click the USB's icon and all your files are available for opening. Really easy actually. I'm pretty sure they are not encrypted...if it is, it automatically decrypts when you enter the correct password.

Hey William: Kingston gives the following compatibility from their website: Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 (SP1), Windows Vista (SP2), Mac OS v.10.6.x-10.9.x (USB 3.0 connectivity requires a USB 3.0 port). The reason would be the on-board software controlling the encryption incompatibility with the Google proprietary operating system. So, Sandisk has been advertising flash drives that are compatible with Chromebooks, but no encryption. My guidance is we are ways off before encryption software will be compatible with Android and Chromebooks (it is a numbers game unfortunately). Use a non-encrypted flash drive to get your data off the system and transfer it to a Win or Apple system that can access an encrypted storage solution. Thanks for your question and apologies for the bad news. My Best Regards, Jack

I returned the laptop because there is a button on the side that resets the laptop to "out of the box" state. This will remove all of your programs, data, files, etc. I called Lenovo and asked if there was a way to password protect this button that anybody can press...the answer was 'No'.

That's great--but it doesn't help me on the Mac! :-/I'm curious why they put a 256mb restriction; have a 1 gb card and it's not recognizing it on the L2 (it's greyed out).

Guys, you have to format your micro card. It keeps failing because the card's memory storage is at maximum since previous updates do not automatically remove themselves.

You can use a 128G micro. I have w/out issues for a year. CAREFUL! Many pirate 128G cards around. Buy name brand.

I have a 128 gb card in mine mine. I have had no issues with the card at all. I transfer a lot of music and video files frequently..never had a single issue with card reader.

Well unfortunately I can not answer that question, as my storEdge was defective right out of the box. The case was the computer would not see it after I would close the MBP down but I am not sure if that is because the card was defective or that's just how it is. So hopefully someone with a functional storEdge card can answer that for you.

Using the Transcend Elite software bundled, you can use the built-in encryption to protect files and folders created on the storage device. Search for "Transcend Elite Software" on Youtube for more instructional information. Hope that helps.

It has no encryption or password protection built-in. You want a Data Traveler Locker drive for that.

Thanks, Lee. Good info.Finally tried formatting back to FAT16 on my PC... and now the card shows only 1 GB!!! (996MB) Even after multiple re-formats on both the PC and the Mac... trying to format back and forth to FAT 32, and then back to FAT 16... still only 996MB available. Used to be a 2GB card. Now... it's working fine... but walks and quacks like a 1GB card!

I could not find any option in the UI to do it, my guess is that data are not encrypted and if you take out the HD you can actually get access to the files.

I believe you can password protect it if you like. It comes with instructions and software sites, but I just use them for straightforward back up. They are really fast and at a good price.

I have a mac book pro and it recognized the drive, and it showed up in the disc utility. I unfortunately, know nothing about encrypted files.

Justin, have you read the PDF instruction manual? I just skimmed it, since I don't need to add security in my application, but it looked quite thorough. You can select different encryption methods and/or change the SSID. You'll need to install the software on the CD into your PC to do the security setup.
