| The biometric flash drive adopts a two-piece tethered design, allowing a convenient finger swipe angle every time. This is in contrast to traditional all-in-one biometric drive, like Lexar JumpDrive TouchGuard. Available in 512MB ($99) and 1GB ($199.99), the Profile will not require any loading of the 448-bit Blowfish encryption apps on the host computer. | 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 512MB 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. | Summary not yet available |

Space Filler 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. |
