You can then remove the AES Encryption Key which is not needed again until the power is cycled. The ability to remove the key after power up helps you keep your physical key safe. The key is smaller thana standard thumb drive and easily fits on a key chain or lanyard.

Most FireWire ports have adequate power to operate ToughTech Secure mini-Q, so most users prefer to use ToughTech Secure mini-Q without an AC adapter for maximum portability. There are three power options with the ToughTech Secure mini-Q:
- AC Adapter
- FireWire bus power
- Dual USB host connection (one for USB, one for extra power)
