Like most ordinary flash drives, Toshiba’s new USB device has all those precious data storage and transfer functions and it comes in several different sizes capacity-wise (available capacities range from 4GB to 32GB), but it also has one special asset no other USB gadget on the market can take pride in. Designed especially for government agencies, financial institutions, large-scale companies and secretive folks who need to keep their data extra safe 24/7, the Encrypted USB Flash Drive is equipped with a rechargeable battery and a mini-keyboard on the backside and it also has military-grade AES 256-bit CBC hardware encryption. Thanks to the tiny keyboard with 0-9 numerical keys, a ‘lock’ button, a few lock icons and three LED status indicators, the users of the latest Toshiba flash drive can enter their PIN codes onto the device in order to gain authentication and access the stored data content upon plugging it into the PC 2.0 port. For maximum content safety, any stored media such as videos, pics, texts and other relevant files will automatically lock and get encrypted after the USB drive is removed from the dedicated computer slot.

But that’s not all: in case someone else gets their paws on your precious flash memory stick, the Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism will prevent them from accessing your confidential data – that is, unless the USB finder or thief manages to get the PIN right (would-be data robbers have a total of ten consecutive chances to try and break the code). After ten unsuccessful PIN code entry attempts, the flash drive’s software will render your sensitive media irrecoverable so you shouldn’t try to access the stored data unless you’re dead certain about the correct administrator’s or individual user’s password.
