My recommendations have been: 1. The IronKey. (I understand that there's also going to be a new "D series" which should be cheaper, but slower, than current offerings.) 2. Any of the Kingston Data Traveler Black Box range (which are FIPS 140-2 compliant). 3. The SafeStick. It's not currently FIPS 140-2 approved, but is expected to gain approval sometime soon. It is approved by the NHS (National Health Service) My favourite is certainly the IronKey. These days, though, I'll answer the question by saying "anything that's FIPS 140-2 or CESG approved" <http://www.cesg.gov.uk/> If/when pushed, though, I'll still say IronKey. For less sensitive data, two others to consider are: 1. Integral Crypto Drive (with AES) 2. Hypertec drives (with AES). I'd only recommend the "rugged" versions as the others are a bit flimsy. We also make use of TrueCrypt and will be looking at "Bitlocker to go" with Windoze 7. Cheers, Richard --On Monday, October 19, 2009 3:29 PM -0700 "Urrea, Nick" <urrean () UCHASTINGS EDU> wrote:
