Sandisk Cruzer Enterprise = RSA SecurID + 256-bit HW AES

RSA Security has been pushing an initiative called "Ubiquitous Authentication", partnering with manufacturers to embed its SecurID software into everyday devices such as thumbdrives and cellphones. Its latest partner is Sandisk which has recently debuted Cruzer Enterprise flash drive.

By integrating both secure data storage and RSA SecurID software for two-factor authentication, the Cruzer Enterprise eliminates the need for a discrete hardware authenticator. This is meant for road warriors who already buy secure tokens for tasks like VPN access and who also keep sensitive info with them on their trips. Since the loss rate of such drive is evidently high, the Cruzer Enterprise's 256-bit AES hardware encryption is equally important to the targeted customers. The two-for-one drive will be available in size from 1 to 8GB with read speed of 24MB/s and write speed of 20MB/s. No words on the pricing as Sandisk is obviously only taking bulk custom orders from enterprises.
