Biometric Flash Drives

**mygorillanet** · 01-02-2008 06:56 AM

Up until recently, flash drives had a capacity of 4GB max. Then we saw a sharp rise in prduction of 8GB capacity flash drives. Now, if you have a 16GB flash drive you are pretty much in the cool running.

Kanguru boast an overly priced 64GB flash drive...coming in at 2800$ which on average is way more than the laptop you are using costs!

Seeing as capacity is covered, the question now is, do we really need finger-printing securiy on our flash drives? There are tons of security softwares one can use to prevent access to an individual flash drive...so why hike the price up for a function which is not only cumbersome but also faulty?

I say, 64GB of flash memory is coo-ool...but not 2800$ worth of cool! Security Biometrics on a flash disk? Pretty much unnecesarry...Ill keep with the software security mechanims, afterall, I do not have any government secrets.

What say you?

I am not sure I would go for the $2800 Flash Drive. I could get an external hard drive with much more capacity than that. And usb is not the fastest in terms of datatransfer. Not until USB 3.0 is released though.

thats way to much for that size of memory id stick with an external hard drive and my 6 gb flash drive until prices dropped.

$2800? Good grief; you could buy two 32 GB SSDs for a total of ~$800. Solid state drives are the future!

Wow, I dunno what I'd do with 64GB of space on my flash drive. I have a 2GB that I use for my website files and scripts and things, then I have a 4GB for everything else.
