You really get what you pay for, lots and lots of copious storage capacity at drop-dead speeds and no annoying application compatibility to worry about.

Unfortunately this drive also features no hardware-based encryption (unlike Ironkey) to secure your data and since losing more data would also scale linear with the capacity of the drive, the use of a large capacity drive would proportionally increase the risk of losing more your business critical data or personal data if the drive were to be lost or misplaced since you would most likely store more data on it than if you had only a 32GB USB flash drive.

Fortunately free open-source encryption tools (e.g. TrueCrypt) are available for the exact purpose of securing your data while on the move.

So let's move on to the durability and compatibility testing to really see what you're paying for.

Using the USB-IF's USBCV testing suite I tested the drive with both Chapter 9 and Mass Storage Class USB protocol compliance, both of which the Voyager GT 128GB passed with flying colors.
