in search of the perfect flash drive
By the philippine daily idiot
By perfect, I mean resistance to violence, war, famine, pestilence, nuclear detonation. (God, no sensible post yet in my busy, busy life.)
And yes, in my busy, busy life (w/c is short of a nuclear detonation area, sortof, right now), I am a recidivist when it comes to misplacing thumb drives. At times, I commit them to accidental total destruction.
Ah what fun! It is not fun.
So the point is, I'm looking for that shock-proof, water-proof drive. Here are the 5 short-listed ones:
1. Super Talent 's pico drives:
Verdict: Pico-sized, duh. Can insert them in tight spots like your wallet. But will easily get lost in many places - not excluding bodily orifices (sometimes a flash drive is just a flash drive, damnit). :D
2. Lacie's iamaKey, itsaKey, and PassKey:
Verdict: Key-sized, duh. Woot.
3. Pretec's i-Disk:
Verdict: Bullet-proof. For the James Bond types.4. The IronKey:
Verdict: Military-grade hardware encryption. Will self-destruct a la Mission Impossible. Nah, I won't have it self-destruct for just some stolen private videos. :-)
5. And last but not the least, the IronDrive:
Verdict: Get ready for this --> resistant to nuclear explosion. Kaboom. But with that size, I won't schlepp it around. Plus, it's least likely that I will have Dear Leader Kim Jong Il for an enemy.
Hey, WAIT FOR MY OVERALL VERDICT: Got the Lacie iamaKey, man! It has theAdvantage ofBeing locallyAvailable.
