För de situationer då du vill skydda dig mot att slutanvändaren tar bort eller manipulerar din data kan du använda Flashbays Dual Zone USB-stick teknik. Vår speciella formateringsprocess skapar en hårdvarubaserad lösning som kombinerar flexibiliteten hos ett traditionellt USB-minne med säkerheten och tillförlitlighet i en CD-ROM skiva.
Detta ger en bra lösning om du söker att tillhandahålla information som du vill att slutanvändaren skall ha permanent tillgång till men du också vill att de ska kunna spara och ändra data på USB-minnen som de är vana att göra. När USB-minnen sätts in i USB-porten visas två skilda ikoner på datorn: en ger tillgång till den skrivskyddade CD-ROM-zonen och den andra ger tillgång till standard USB funktionen för att öppna, ändra och spara filer precis som du gör på en vanligt USB-minne.
Datorn fungerar precis som om två skilda enheter ha anslutits när du använder en Flashbay Dual Zone USB-sticks, vilket ger dig flexibiliteten att låta dina slutanvändare lagra sina filer samtidigt som viktig data förblir synlig, tillgänglig och skyddad.

Hi John, Good questions. 1) Each zone is assigned a specific proportion of the physical memory in the flash drive. The CD ROM zone is sized to be sufficient to hold the content that the customer would like to be read-only with the remainder of the capacity of the drive belonging to the standard USB flash drive zone. 2) The data to be written to the CD ROM zone must be provided to us as part of the order process and we will pre-load the data onto the flash drive. The data in the CD ROM zone cannot be changed by customers.
(1) Do both drives share the total memory capacity of the drive or is there some fixed split? (2) How does the publisher write data to the protected drive and then protect it?
Hi Gary - copy protection of the partitioned data would require the use of third-party DRM software. The most common type of copy protection for CD media is intended to prevent unauthorised copying of music from audio CDs. Unfortunately the methods used cannot be applied to data CDs such as the one employed on the dual zone flash drive as they would render the data unreadable. If you protect your data using a suitable DRM solution prior to the creation of the flash drives then you could achieve your goal of restricting access to the included files to only authorised users. Flashbay however do not specifically support or endorse any particular DRM product.
It certainly would be nice if the partitioned data could be protected from copying. Any thoughts on that?
Hi Roger - the data is always protected. In the same way that you can't format a CDROM, you also can't format the read only partition of the dual zone flash drive. So your data, (e.g. a company presentation) will always be locked down on the read only partition, and the user can use the other read/write partition for their own files
That's pretty neat, so does a full format of the USB drive manage to delete the data?
