The JumpDrive SAFE S3000 FIPS looks like other thumbdrives, though it is a little heavier because of its thick metal casing.

The drive comes built-in with encryption software that works both with Macs and PCs. At first run, the software will prompt you to create a password, after that you will type in this password each time you want to access the data stored on the drive.
