Sometimes old security methods are better than today’s tech; at least that’s what Corsair figures since they just put a numeric PIN pad on a USB drive. It’s an interesting concept: you set a numeric PIN up to 10 digits in length and your data is safely secured until you enter the PIN. If the USB stick is pulled from a computer, the security automatically kicks in and is "padlocked" until the PIN is re-entered. Note to self: don’t store PIN on the flash drive in case of a memory lapse…no pun intended.
Corsair’s Flash Padlock works on Mac, Windows and Linux. 1 GB of capacity runs you $29.99 while double the storage costs $39.99.
