    Secure USB Flash Drive

    Hello,

    Anyone got recommendations for a secure USB flash drive, pref 4Gb in size.

    Starting to take some fairly sensitive information home and need to make sure I dont do a HMRC.

    Also, the less in terms of tulip that it installs in the way of software the better.

    Any recommendations of what you know is good.

    Cheers
    Richard

    I just use USBvault to password protect everything on there that I want to protect.

    Drag and drop the files onto a desktop icon - everything runs off the drive, so no need to install anything, and it's free.

      That could be an idea. I'll look into it.

            i recently bought a 4gb sandisk cruzer. it comes with u3 software on it which has a built in security feature, though if you forget the password, the only way to use the stick again is to wipe everything...

            also dont know how secure it is

              Seen this though... (easy to crack USBVault apparently)

                Hmmm personally I wouldn't use USBVault.

                  I know of someone who used a secure USB thing to store all their critically important and highly confidential files.

                  One day they plugged it in, typed in their passwords etc, and it said 0 files.

                  Oh Dear. Secure but not hugely reliable.

                  They were a little upset to say the least.

                    Have a look at the ByteStor ones these come with a decent password access app on them.
