    Hmm would want to see it thoroughly tested by third parties before even considering buying it. The take it apart + connect a wire approach to gain access to the old model leaves a sour taste in the mouth unfortunately. And you can buy an Ironkey for not much more and it's proven incredibly secure.

    You have got to be kidding...

    Hopefully it's built better than the Voyagers. With mine the head was held on only be the solder... it later became less held on when the head fell off.

    I'd be using Truecrypt as well either way rather than solely relying on the manufacturer's encryption implementation. Same goes for Ironkey although it does have nifty features and is probably about as secure as you're going to get without doing your own encryption etc.
