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.
