Awards and Reviews
When you are pondering purchasing this type of product, you want the security to be the top issue and this device promises to do just that. The cryptographic keys are erased when putting in the incorrect password 10 times and there's pretty much no way to recover the data. This is perfect for people carrying sensitive data on the go.
While secure flash drives are of course pricier than their non-secure counterparts, think of the extra cash like insurance. You carry insurance for your home, car, and more, so why would you not pay a bit more for the insurance of your privacy and data.
