Q: What is included with this SanDisk flash drive?

A: It includes a 1-year subscription to RescuPro file recovery software.

Q: Someone posted on the review for this flash drive that it's safer than a external hard drive. How is that? I've never heard that comment about a flash drive versus hard drive.

A: All hard drives (including external) have moving parts Flash drives on the other hand don't. If any of the moving parts fail the hard drive turns into a paper weight and you lose your data. This is more likely to happen with external hard drives because they get moved around. Think about like using a old portable cd player. If you moved the the player while in use you could end up damaging the the disc: then you could no longer use it. If you shake it the music would skip. Now think about listening to music from your phone. Your cell phone uses flash memory just like this "flash drive" If you started flipping your phone around nothing gets damaged (unless you drop it lol) and the music does not skip. So flash memory including this "flash drive" are safer because they are less prone to failure. at lease that's my opinion.

Q: will I have to download any SanDisk software to properly use & benefit from the SanDisk flash drive on my MacBook Air?

A: No the software used with this is optional. It is for file encryption. The drive works perfectly fine without anything additional installed.
