So the USB IronDrive has been circulating for a couple days. Designed for military application and sourced via Lockheed Martin the drive is truly indestructible. But where do you think the USB port is? Does the handle unscrew and leave you access to the port or does the tip come undone. Not clear, but I’m sure it’s in there somewhere.
So we’ve seen UFDs that withstand 2,000 pounds of weight, we’ve seen underwater flash drives and we’ve seen rugged flash drives, but what about all of that, plus the security of anti-shock and anti-static? After all, UFDs are most susceptible to static electricity which is a leading factor in failing flash drives.
Slava Tyukalov answered this call with his highly customized and durable flash drive line specifically designed to address these types of issues, the Titan.
Each Titan is hand made with the highest quality materials and the greatest level of care. Here’s the run down: Each flash drive starts with a graphite/aluminum composite metal combination to create a light yet very durable enclosure, this type of mixture is something you’d see in NASA products or prototypes, next coat the UFD with

1) Proporta is coining a new phrase, Mobile Sock. Here they show off a pack of socks which not only fit your Zune but just about any PDA or mobile device. Nice durable material and although everyone has the material to create an alternative, it’s nice to know your Zune hasn’t been hang’in with stinky piggies.
2) Next is the Alu Leather case, not pig skin, from Proporta. The leather case is lined with aircraft grade aluminum to protect your Zune from

Today SanDisk launched their TrustWatch solution for UFD management. As one could guess, with hundreds of UFDs being deployed in a company there becomes a huge security risk for IT managers. TrustWatch is a well thought out solution to manage the complete life cycle of the SanDisk drives.
In short there are 3 main components to TrustWatch.
TrustWatch Access – this component allows management of the UFD itself, such as passwords, email client, spyware scanner etc.
TrustWatch Vault – This of course is the encryption portion of the solution for the UFD.

Lexar announced their new Lexar JumpDrive 360 USB Flash Drive at the 2007 CES show. The new style is a capless design and encased in a rotating metal jacket you flip out before use – kinda like a switch blade.
All Lexar drives will now ship with BitLocker Drive encryption software and Windows PE 2.0 for Vista. Of course Lexar is claiming the JumpDrive 360 is compatible with ReadyBoost, but who isn’t making that claim these days. Finally, Lexar will include their PowerToGo software on the JumpDrive 360 and all other devices, which BTW is a spit image of U3.
