Cross platform PC & Mac: My work life is on PC and my personal life on Mac so I needed a drive with encryption technology that could seamlessly handle both platforms. No need to install drivers on host machine: I would be using a variety of PCs some public some not and wouldn't always have admin access to install drivers. USB 2.0: I don't think anyone has the patience for 1.0 speeds these days. Unfortunately I was a bit naieve in my expectations for the technology. The Lexar turned out to be the only drive that fit the bill with all of the above features at a reasonable price point..
