When first run, it formats the thumb drive and allocates a designated amount of space for the encrypted volume that is separate from any windows file system. I don’t know how cryptologically secure this program is but it seems good enough for the kind of stuff that I’ll be using it for. V-Safe100.exe – This is the crypto engine that came with the thumb drive.V-Safe100 UM_English.pdf – The user manual for V-safe100.Inside the file are my name and address, phone numbers and web addresses.

If I’m unconscious, the thumb drive won’t do me much good if the emergency responders and ER docs don’t know about it. I’ll provide details of how I set this up as we go along. The people I list in the public file as emergency contacts have the password to access the encrypted file. My entire medical history is in another file, this one encrypted and hidden. The way I’ve addressed the problem is to place an open file on my thumb drive that contains my current drug profile and allergies plus my doc’s contact info. How much info to make semi-publicly available? My complete medical history should be easily available to any doctor who needs it but it should not be available to anyone else, including nosy authorities. This brings up a very important decision. I have several chronic medical problems including diabetes so having my medical info readily at hand even though I might be unconscious is very important.

I listed those roughly in order of importance. Have space to move files between computers.Have a familiar computing environment on-hand.Have my medical history readily available.2) when I service someone else’s PC and use my thumb drive, a lot of folks are quite interested in how I have mine organized.

1) when I ask people what they do with their drives, the usual answer amounts to “not much”. It seems like everyone has a USB thumb drive/memory stick these days. Print This Post Thumb Drive Management PermaLink
