Corsair Flash Padlock USB Drive

INTRODUCTION

The tiny flash drive is a great portable device but due to its size, it’s also prone to be lost.  Although they are cheap to replace as you can get a gig of storage for about $10, the invaluable data lost is what one should worry about, especially the important personal information stored on the drive.  We have seen many companies selling various flash drives with different ways of offering security to the flash drive.  Corsair has recently released a hardware-based security flash drive, the Flash Padlock, and today we get a chance to take a look at the  Flash Padlock and put this drive to the test.
