1GB USB Drive on a Keychain

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the portable-pr0n dept.

sparcv9 writes "JMTek looks to be about ready to release a line of keychain-sized USB drives, ranging in capacity from 16MB to 1GB. The 1GB models are a bit pricey at almost $900US, but the 16, 32 and 64MB models are all under $100. These devices require no external power supply, claim a data retention of 10 years, and are 'driverless' -- which means that the drives will work under Linux, according to JMTek (see the 'Operating Systems' row in the specs table.)"

    • Shit! I just gouged my keychain drive with my Leatherman tool!
    • Man, all I did was just sat down my 1GB pocket drive got crushed--there goes $900!

    Sounds like a good, cynical business model--very fragile yet expensive products target-marketed to savvy techies with high disposable incomes.

    You could store one hell of an encryption key on that keychain.

    How many bit encryption would that be?
