Developer’s Description

Lock and password protect USB and external drives.

Lock USB password-protects your USB and external drives in seconds and is the only product that keeps them locked on all operating systems including Windows/Mac/Linux and file systems like FAT32/NTFS/exFAT.

Lock USB is fast, fully portable, fully secure on all OSes, doesn't require admin privileges to run, has plug and play and other security features like saving lost and found info.

One of the most popular means of transporting large chunks of data involves the use of portable external drives such as USB flash drives or external hard drives. However, despite their popularity, the biggest drawback is related to security - in other words, not having the option to password protect your external drive. Think about it, PCs allows you to setup a username and password, this prevents other users from accessing your desktop, its only logical that external drives come with the same option, yet this is not the case with external data storage devices.

Lock USB allows you to password-protect any USB flash drive or external drive.Foolproof password-protection for portable data. Your data stays secure in encrypted lockers.Even if you end up losing your device, be it through misplacement or theft, you don't have to worry about anyone stealing your data.Lock USB is the only USB Locking software which uses a proprietary data locking mechanism which provides cross platform security.

Pros
Simple, effective and reliable.
Cons
UI needs to be improved
Summary
Data remains protected regardless of your regular activities.
Stay away from it!

Pros
Simple indeed...
Cons
Horrible experience. After unlocking the HD, I couldn't access the HD anymore. Rebooting didn't help either. No access. Only in Save Mode I was able to recover most of the files, which were partially broken and spread randomly in chunk folders. Then, I had to format the whole HD. No answer from their service either within 24h as promised. Stay away from it. You run the risk to mess up your hard drive and lose your data.
Summary
Stay away from it. You run the risk to lock your hard drive "forever", lose your data and have to reformat the HD.
Simple yet surprisingly effective

Pros
Easy to use and setup
Cons
It's hard to believe that it's only a few kilobytes
Summary
Lock USB has been advertised as the only USB locking software that works on cross platform. I put this to the test and its seems it does work, I wasn't able to access my data on my friends MAC computer, so I tried accessing it on my android tablet, and I was pleasantly surprised when data wasn't accessible.
Good bargain given its functionality

Pros
Installs directly into USB drive
Cons
Still too early to find faults
Summary
I've tried several other USB locking software (I am not going to mention their names) with the end result being total disappointment. However, I have been using lock USB for about a day now, and I am so far impressed but nonetheless a little skeptical. I am counting on this application to resolve all my portable locking grievances. Fingers crossed!
