Protecting your data is of the utmost importance.

Nowadays it’s the norm to carry around data on a flash drive. Not only are these devices convenient to have, but it’s also quite cheap. Huge chunks of data can be stored on a flash drive, depending on its storage capacity, which ranges from 512Mb to 64GB (NAND flash drive).

Due to the nature of the data, being stored on it, it might be a serious cause of concern, should either the flash drive get stolen or get lost. What if critical information, such as your company’s data, was stored on it?

It’s therefore imperative to have the right flash drive for the right type of data. Movies and Mp3's can be stored on a conventional flash drive, like the * Kingston Dti/DataTraveller 8GB, which by far, are the cheapest on the SA market.

However, if you are serious about protecting your data, then the flash drive must have security features such as hardware encryption, password protection and/or biometric features installed.

The Kingston Vault – Privacy Edition Flash Drive protects even the most sensitive data with 256-bit AES hardware encryption and an enforced complex password. The drive locks down and reformats after 10 intrusion attempts. For more product info, simply visit: TechMall

The Corsair Padlock Flash Drives are also ideal for this purpose. Not only is it more affordable, but also offers AES-246 encryption and password protection. The Corsair Padlock 4GB Flash Drive sells for only R395.

* The Kingston Dti/DataTraveller 8Gb Flash Drive retails for R330 on http://techmall.biz. A discount voucher KING8GB of value R30 means you now can get it for only R300 Inclusive.

I protect my data the easy way. I keep it away from filthy hands. I encrypt my data using 1024 to 4096-bit encryption (both industry standard and self-written).
 
No worries mate - I'm editing my post to get the glitch out of there ;)
Have a good weekend!
