The new Kingston DataTraveler 410 has marked improvements for better storage on the go. Available at 4, 8, 16, and 32GB capacities, the DT410 has faster transfer speeds of up to 20MB/sec read or write. The housing itself is improved, albeit simple. It features a capless design so you won’t have to go crazy in case you lose that precious USB storage cap. Another neat feature of the DT410 is the included SecureTraveler1 software that creates a ‘privacy zone’ to hide your unmentionable files. $115.

The 32GB Pico Drive is the world’s smallest 32GB USB Flash Drive in just 3.4mm thick. It has a polished chrome/nickel finish and is resistant from shock and water. $140.

Give your data the total protection it needs, right from the start. Your portable hard disk may have some sophisticated encryption software but it doesn’t prevent the clever hacker from accessing the drive. Not with the Aegis Padlock Drive though. The drive has its own unique PIN so only the authorized users may be able to access the contents. A seamless, real-time encryption makes sure that your data is safe, even if the hard disk itself is physically removed from the enclosure. The Aegis Padlock offers either a 128-bit or a 256-bit AES encryption and up to 500 GB or space. $100+.

Leave the guesswork out of determining the capacity of your external hard drive with Verbatim’s InSight. It has an “always on” 32×128 pixel, cholestric display that shows you the drive’s name and remaining free space even when disconnected. Also included in the sleek, piano black finished disk is the Nero BackItUp software for full system backup/restore capability. Works with either Mac or PC, the InSight also comes with a 5-year limited warranty. Available in 320 GB and 500 GB capacities. $120+.

This might not be the first 128 GB flash drive, but this would be the world’s fastest! The Dual Controller is what’s responsible for the record. The flash drive has a read speed of 32MB/sec and a write speed of 25.6MB/sec. The drive also has rubber as a housing which helps with spill moments. Now available!

You’ll never know when you’ll drop your portable drive from 10 feet high or when you’ll run it over with a one-ton truck. If your drive is this SimpleTOUGH from Hitachi, you can breathe easy knowing that your precious files will be safe. The sleek yet rugged outer shell hides the tough protection. An integrated and flexible USB cable will make sure that you’ll never leave the connection somewhere else again. Hitachi’s Local Backup lets you set up automatic backups from within your computer and you’ll also get 2GB worth of free online backup space. $100+.

Responding to threats physical and virtual with a bigger capacity is the new IronKey S200. The first USB drive to pass Level 3 of the Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 (FIPS), this is one drive you can be really confident about storing your precious data. On the virtual side, the drive has a 256-bit encryption, AutoRun protection, trusted network restriction, and malware scanning among its many features. The one-piece aluminum case also passes military specs, with heavily shielded electronics and epoxy compounds to encase the chips. Every part of the drive is assembled in secured areas in the USA so even the manufacturing process of these drives is kept secret. The drive will be available in 16GB versions. $TBA.
