The drive is 2.8 inches long, 0.7 inch wide, slightly more than 0.25 inch thick, and it weighs just 0.3 ounce, making it roughly the same size and a little lighter than a five-stick pack of gum. Though the Gizmo Overdrive does not come with a keyring, it does have a necklace-length detachable lanyard. The shiny, black-plastic drive has a small red light that flashes when the drive is in use and a cap that's not attached (and therefore is likely to be lost).
The Gizmo Overdrive comes with StompSoft's Portable Vault encryption application preinstalled. Upon running the Windows-only Portable Vault executable off the drive for the first time, users must set up their own password-protected "vault" and password hint. Once a password is set, dragging files or folders to the Portable Vault window initiates the encryption process, which is fast for small text documents but can take significant time and processor resources for larger ZIP archives or multimedia files. Users can customize access to documents on the Gizmo Overdrive by creating multiple vaults with different passwords.
