We all love the convenience of Flash drives, but they're not exactly secure--most don't even offer password protection. We looked at IronKey's personal flash drive solution last year, which offers military-grade security for a not-terrible starting price of $79. Now the company has introduced the IronKey S200, which ups the security level and is meant for high-level needs.
The S200 keeps your data safe in an impressive variety of ways. It offers AES 256-bit hardware encryption and is wrapped in a tamper-resistant and tamper-evident design. It's covered in a waterproof aluminum one-piece case, and the chips are encased in a hardened epoxy potting compound. I love that it comes with remote management software, so that an admin can enforce security policies remotely or even destroy all the saved data from afar.
The S200 comes in a 16GB model and works with Windows, Macintosh, and Linux PCs. The company isn't divulging the price yet, but you can sign up on this page to reserve a drive.

That's a really nice price point, especially for all that added security. You could certainly find cheaper 16GB drives, but it's not so out of the question that most people who would buy a 16GB drive can't remember when they cost about 80 bucks.
