Partition Types

U-Storage Tool can be used to partition JetFlash into two partition types. Before partitioning, you need to understand the following terms and concepts.

Type 1: “Public Area Only”

This is the default partition type for JetFlash. It allows the entire volume of JetFlash memory to be accessed by anyone. No secure data area is established.

Public Area

“Public Area Only”

Type 2: “Public Area + Security Area”

JetFlash is partitioned into a single Logical Unit Number (LUN) identified device, which contains a Public Area and a Security Area. Secure data can be established in the Security Area, which is protected by password. Access to data in the Public Area is unrestricted.
