What is the difference between “Automatically Resizeable” and “Fixed Sized” drives?
Automatic drives expand and decrease in size as you add and delete data. For fixed drives, you must determine the size of the drive prior to creating it because it’s size cannot be modified later. For example, if you create an automatic drive and place 50MB worth of data into it, the drive will be 50MB in size. If you delete 10MB worth of that data, the drive will be 40MB in size. If you create a fixed drive at 100MB and place 50MB worth of data into it, the size of the drive will remain 100MB regardless of what data you add or delete from it. Automatic vaults take no time to create while fixed drives require some time to set up before use (the larger the vault size, the longer it takes to create). Automatic drives encrypt data at a slower pace in comparison to fixed drives, however. We recommend automatic drives for encrypting small amounts of data (such as WORD or EXCEL files), and fixed drives for encrypting large amounts of data (such as videos or other media).
