Re: Recommendation of a good secure Flash drive?

IronKey thumbdrives are good but expensive.  I think $80 for 1 GB.  They are password protected and will destroy 
themselves if the password is typed in wrong 10 times.

I second that.  Truecrypt is a great product.  Easy to work with.

We also like IronKey drives, which are great, but pricey.

If you don't need all the built-in features of IronKey, I'm recommending
TrueCrypt (www.truecrypt.org). Its free, flexible and very user-friendly.
Once we place it on a drive, all the user has to do is plug it in and enter
their password when prompted. After that, their secure volume appears to
them just like a normal drive. When the drive is removed from the PC, it is
fully encrypted and protected. It will work with pretty much any removable
drive.

We are looking IronKey for flash drives.  But we really need a broader
solution.  Has anyone implemented an endpoint encryption product that covers
the scope of NIST 800-111?  Health Care entities are going to be trying to
implement encryption on flash drives, laptops, CDs, DVDs, etc. in a way that
doesn't bring down our ability to provide patient care.  Cheers.-grish

I really like the ironkey line.  Cross platform support, a read only
mode, and autorun.inf checking are key features.
