Kingston BlackBox Uber-Secure Flash Drive

April 15th, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

Kingston has a new uber-secure flash drive that additionally happen to cost big bucks: $424 for 8GB. In fact, that high price is probably driven in part by a federal requirement that some sensitive input has to be stored on a device that has received the Federal knowledge Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certification. And the last day I looked,

there was not a whole lot of 8GB flash drives in that category… Of course, the cost of the encryption hardware might be urgent too, but a chip of that size can’t cost a whole lot to make…
