Padlock for your flash drive

For those who keep your sensitive data on a USB flash drive, and constantly fear the info will fall into the wrong hands, you might think about putting a padlock on your data-storage device. Corsair's Flash Padlock features a keypad similar to those found on cars with keyless entry. The PIN number can be individualized for each user, much like an ATM, and only those with the correct combo can access the data. Corsair claims the Flash Padlock can't be accessed by brute force, but of course someone using a hammer to access the USB device probably isn't someone you should be too afraid of.
