Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive
The Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive is a privacy-oriented flash drive that takes an innovative approach to security. The software that provides the security is fast to load, straightforward in its presentation, and quite easy to set up and use. We wish it was a little faster, though.

Defender F200

The F200 is quite a standout by itself. Its exterior dimensions are quite a bit larger than your typical flash drive. It is about the size of a pocket knife when the lid is attached. To the touch, the exterior of the drive feels like a high-quality piece with a nice painted steel casing and cover. Also of note is the small steel cable used for connecting it to lanyards or keychains. It looks a lot nicer than the typical plastic cord or keyring used in most drives, and all that needs to be done to install things to it is unscrew the connecting joint.

Taking the cover off reveals the pièce de résistance of the flash drive, the fingerprint scanner. It is set in the center of a recessed groove with the surrounding area being made of quality-feeling hard plastic. To the left of the scanner are a pair of LEDs. The top one alternates between red and greed (for when you are not logged in/logged in, respectively), and the bottom one is blue and functions as an access LED.

Finally, we feel we have to mention something minor that still stuck out to us. Take a look at the design for the joint that keeps the lid on the drive. It has spring loaded metal clips and a rubber ring to seal the drive from water. Quite an attention to detail!

The back of the drive has the drive's name and serial number printed. It also has some of the certifications that it meets embossed in the plastic.
