Page 1: Intro, Box, Parts
Intro:
Honeywell makes products that fit nearly every market. Since they have a partnership with SOYO, they have also entered the computer peripheral consumer space. One of their first products to be released is the SecuraDrive. It is a 1.8" USB hard drive built for the security conscious.
Box:
Honeywell uses a red themed box which fine for me since it is my favorite color. The retail packaging gives you enough information to make an informed purchase. The drive will work on any OS, but the special security part will only work with Windows.
Parts:
The box contains the needed parts and accessories you would expect. You get some literature, software, a few USB hookups (one for connectivity, one for power), a leather case, and a rubberized protection shell.
The unit comes with a dedicated USB power plug. You actually shouldn't need to use this since the drive can run fine off regular USB provided power. If you system doesn't provide enough power, Honeywell includes the extra cable.
Here is the rubberized protection sleeve. It gives extra protection for the drive. I personally wouldn't use it when it is use because the drive puts out heat. When it is in transport, it is fine to use.
Honeywell packages a nice leather case with the drive for storage and even more protection. Protection is the keyword for the SecuraDrive.
SecuraDrive:
The drive itself is about as big as a normal sized card reader. The red Honeywell logo is embossed in the top of the drive. The actual drive of the unit is a 1.8" 80GB hard drive. 1.8" drives should last well with care and don't put out as much heat as the normal 2.5" laptop drives you see in small portable USB drives. The entire unit is very small and easy to carry around.
The bottom of the unit contains the varies product information such as serial number and product name. It also has the certifications listed from the FCC and such. The case itself feels like very hard rubber with chrome trimming around it. I like the black and silver look.
The ports are pretty simple. There is a mini-USB port and a power plug. The other thing is an orange LED to show activity on the drive. You probably won't need to use the power plug since most computers should supply the drive with the needed power over the normal mini-USB connection.
