It holds up to 250GB whereas a secure flash drive may hold about 4 or 8GB. The Data Locker is platform-independent so it can't be brute-forced or compromised by the host. I've used both the IronKey and the Data Locker, and I find myself just using the Data Locker only now. The IronKey didn't have enough storage space for me, and it had too many features I didn't use. I think the 250GB was the best bang for the buck. They have free shipping now on domestic orders and $50 promo code "NEW50". VALENTINE

Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you do not control physical access to your media (such as a flash drive) it is not secure. DROGO

Once your hardware is in the attacker's hands, it's toast if he has the time to work on the problem of getting at your data. For casual snoopers, most any common encryption system using AES or similar will be more than enough. If you work for a government agency or a hospital, please make sure my personal records aren't on that disk when you take it out in public, btw. ;-) ALASTAIR
