Kingston Flash USB: Safe from Snoops and Snoopy
You don’t want your data pried upon by snoops when you’re not looking; neither would you want it chewed to pieces by your dog Snoopy even if you’re looking.
Memory maker Kingston Technology was certainly thinking about your dog when they made their Data Traveler Secure USB flash drive with industrial-grade titanium-coated stainless steel. They made it tamper-proof and chew-proof. Hey, they even made it waterproof not only from Snoopy’s drool but also for when you bring it to a depth of 4ft for whatever reason.
As for snoops, Kingston made it with 256-bit AES hardware encryption so strong that even Mitnick will take a very long time (about 29 seconds) to hack.
You can buy these critters now, priced at $33 for the 128MB version all the way up to $244 for the 4GB variety (ouch! Didn’t know steel and silicon could be that costly).
There’s an even more secure big brother, the Data Traveler Secure – Privacy Edition, geared towards businesses who want to lock down their data on a USB stick. It comes with full drive AES encryption and a “complex password protocol�, whatever that means. It hasn’t been released yet because Kingston still has to perfect the protocol, or maybe they still haven’t decided how much to gouge businesses who are clueless about encryption. (chrismalinao)

[...] But it’s not out there yet. Transcend still has to make up its mind about its price tag. Maybe they’re waiting for Kingston to come out first with the price for its Data Traveler Privacy Edition USB stick? (chrismalinao) [...]
