The Verbatim Secure Pro 16GB (part 98664) is a USB 3.0 flash drive with built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection, made for carrying confidential files such as financial records, client data or private notes without the risk of exposure if the drive is lost or stolen. Encryption is handled by the drive itself, and a password prompt appears when it is connected. The drive uses password hashing and a hack-resistant entry routine that erases all data after 10 failed attempts. Its retractable, capless design protects the USB-A connector without a cap that can go missing. Verbatim quotes read speeds of up to 100 MB/s and write speeds of up to 35 MB/s over USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1). The housing is silver and black. Verbatim covers it with a 24-month manufacturer's warranty. It is a practical choice for professionals, accountants, HR and legal staff who need to move sensitive documents between computers.
