Flash Padlock USB Key Locks Up Your Data with a Pin

There are many USB keys out there that come with encryption software for keeping your prized files away from preying eyes, but if you want to be super paranoid you can argue that software encryption isn’t enough. Instead, we present the ultimate in USB key protection - the Flash Padlock, which features hardware encryption. The Flash Padlock resembles the lock I had on my old Ford Taurus when I used to key in my pin number in order to unlock the doors to my car. If you happen to be carrying around documents on a flash drive that are so top secret then I guess this Flash drive is for you. Available in 2GB and 4GB capacities, you can create 1 pin number or multiple ones and then register them on-line for easy retrieval if you forget it what the pin is. At Buy.com you can get the Flash Padlock for a an affordable $27.82.

“Flash Padlock USB Key Locks Up Your Data with a Pin”

My mother uses a pin in her sewing.

I use a PIN with my debit card.

Geeky? Yes? Guilty as charged.
