| Not too long after the YAK Alert wearable USB flash drive became public for saving patient information, Imation has taken the concept and gone commercial with it. The end result isn't too shabby either, while a bit small at only 256MB, the Flash Wristband looks very stylish and will sell for only $35 later this month in blue and black versions at Target. | When every thumbdrive is made of plastic, Corsair wraps their Flash Voyager, including the cap, with rubber. This makes the USB flash drive a true water-resistant portable storage. What's more? The 256MB drive tops at 19MB/s read, 13MB/s write, and comes with ten-year warranty. While the drive hides the partition with password, there doesn't seem to have AES encryption. | The 256MB flash drive with fingerprint authentication can encrypt up to 10 different thumbprints, 200 website logins and all your bookmarks. Replacing passwords with fingerprints is a life-saver when you need to access secure websites when there's possibility that a keystroke recorder may be in place. Though, the TouchGuard is for IE6 only. |

If USB flash drive is going to be attached to a key ring, check that the attachment point is on the main body, not on the cap. |

Summary not yet available | Approximately the same length as your little finger, the miniature version of the Micro Vault comes with an array of software to keep your data synchronized and protected. Among the titles are the AutoZip, which compresses files by dragging into a special folder; AutoLogin for remembering website logins; and PC Lock, which transforms the Micro Vault into a PC Key. | The 256MB USB flash drive may look just like any other commodity drive out there, but this one offers ActiveDisk technology that allows you to run free applications like OpenOffice, MusicMatch and PocoMail Portable on the Micro Mini. The downside is that the machine you are running must have ActiveDisk module installed. Iomega also bundles three changeable covers and lanyard. |
