Apacer Handy Steno AH320

It looks nice and decent price. So what's the cool thing about this thumb drive?


The AH320 comes with the new proprietary Apacer Compression Explorer (ACE), a software
enabling file compression on the flash drive. It can provide up to 5X the original capacity of the
drive, with a maximum performance of 10MB/sec (read) and 3MB/sec (write).
1. Increase flash drive storage space
ACE simply compresses files, and not expand the drive's capacity. Compression rate depends
on the type of file being compressed, and the official rates as claimed by Apacer are as follows:

File Compression

txt 50%
exe 40%
bmp 19%
pdf 67%
wav 81%
jpg 84%
doc (text only format) 22%
ppt (text only format) 31%
ppt (text + photo format) 79%

2. Drag and drop ease of use
ACE is simple to use with no complicated interface. To compress files, just drag and drop the
file(s) to the flash drive directory. It is that easy!
3. Password protection
The file security, implemented via a password prompt, is activated when the Handy Steno
flash drive is plugged in. ACE not only compresses files, but can also secure your personal
data.
4. Preset directory settings
When files are dragged and dropped into ACE, the compressed files can be saved into the
directory you choose. This directory can easily be set or changed.
