High Level Nowadays USB Thumb Drive Data Storage Devices

New USB Thumb Drive Data Storage Devices, Faster and Bigger but more Secure?
Bruce J. Cullen
Nowadays, you can see so many companies making USB thumb drives, many of these devices are faster, bigger and more compact, but are they a safe means to hold your companies important data?
Secure USB Thumb Drives
Flash memory manufacturer Corsair says it has solved the problem of non secured flash drives by forcing you to enter a unique PIN code to enter their USB thumb drive and access your data. It’s a great idea but will it really help?
This “Flash Padlock” USB thumb drive protects file records and data with a unique PIN that you enter on the built in touchpad on the actual USB flash drive shell. You then enter the device into your USB plug on your laptop or desktop and the device operates as extra external memory. Corsair said the device is much more resistant to brute force attacks or keystroke loggers.
You see keystroke loggers record any keystroke you make on your keyboard. In other words, when you type in your password on your keyboard to unlock a secured USB thumb drive, and if a hacker has gotten a program of theirs on your device it would record your password as you type them (all of them). Every so often these keyloger programs send these simple text files via a build in e-mail program to their own e-mail inbox. This is bad!
The new Corsair device would ask that you type in your password before you plug your storage device into your computer USB flash drive port (USB port). So in essence the keylogger hacker programs would never have a chance to record your computers keystrokes and there would be no way for them to access your data.
“Featuring auto-lock hardware security, Flash Padlock is the best way to secure your data while on the go. It prevents any unauthorized access or “Brute Force” attacks to the data on the Flash Padlock. Users can program in a PIN, much like they do for an ATM machine, to lock/unlock their data. An easy to use keypad in conjunction with lock/unlock indicator lights makes the Flash Padlock easy to use. The Flash Padlock is fully plug-and-play, and requires no software or drivers to work properly.”
The Flash Padlock will auto lock after 15 seconds if removed from the computer. This ensures your data stays locked-up, if you forget to lock the device this thing does it by itself (I love things that make sense). The Flash Padlock USB storage device will work with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows based computers.
At the moment the Flash Padlock is available in 1GB and 2GB capacities starting from $29.99. For more information on this specific device visit this URL:

As we are on the topic of Corsair let’s continue. Are you a flash survivor, corsair thinks it is. “Corsair Introduces Flash Survivor — Extremely Rugged USB 2.0 Flash Drive”
Rugged USB Thumb Drives
As the owner of eProvided, a digital image recovery company which also specializes in advanced USB data recovery, we know a good idea when we see one. What this all comes down to is feedback from users that have purchased this device. If we do not see these devices come in to our labs then there is a good chance either no-one is buying them or they are not having issues of damage. The most common type of USB memory stick damage is when the USB port is broken or breaks off from the USB drive itself.
A common cause of USB thumb drive damage is from users plugging these devices into their laptop or ground based desktops and bumping the device while it is plugged in. This causes the part of the USB thumb drive that plugs into the USB slot on their computer to break off. Most of these breaks are very serious as the internal circuits and parts inside the USB thumb drive are permanently damaged. “USB Device Not Recognized” error messages may appear after such an incident.
You may also have a windows error message such as “USB Unknown Device”. This is a sign that your device has suffered serious damage to the circuitry. At this point you will need a data recovery company to assist you. Consumers need to buy devices that are more rugged and are made by larger names in the storage industry. Flash Survivor(TM) is an exceptionally tough, water resistant, drop-tested flash USB memory stick storage device.
A design made ideally for transporting valuable data such as personal files, jpeg images and personal applications without having to be bothered by the chance for damage or loss of data due to various natural elements.
So use your noggin and buy strong devices and keep the contact information of those who may be able to help you in case of data loss on USB thumb drives.

Data Logger – Data Storage Devices
Last Updated on Wednesday, 8 December 2010 04:08 Written by Adriana Noton Wednesday, 8 December 2010 04:08
A data logger is basically any device that is used for the storage of data. Many are stand alone units that can be used in conjunction with the features of other test equipment like sensors or a humidity sensor as part of a Calibration service. The device stores the information from the external units that read in info and then a user can read that info from the logger or download it directly to a network or computer.
Stand alone units such as these have one purpose but offer many uses. Not only do they save money because you do not need an entire computer, but it also makes portability an easier option. They can be left at any location and connected to the testing equipment.
There are a number of different features that are offered on different types of units. You’ll need to understand the features and especially know how you’ll use this equipment to make a sound decision in which type you should buy. How many testing units will be attached at one time? This will determine how many ports are needed. The more ports, the more expensive the item will be.
Knowing the amount of inputs is vital in making your decision. You will also need to know how much information will be stored per day, hour, week, month or year. This can be determined by how many tests are run in an hour and how long the tests will run.
How many tests will be run per hour is also another concern when deciding which logging unit to get. If you need it to store a number of tests, say, over 3000 an hour, then you will need one with a larger amount of memory. This will also raise the price of the item that one will need.
It does not matter what kind of tests you will be performing, but you should get a unit that offers the opportunity for possible upgrades later. These are highly move-able items and can offer many solutions to logistical problems such as not being able to store a computer on site to monitor test data. In fact, the item can collect the data, be removed and studied at a later date.
There are a lot of things to think about before pulling the trigger on the purchase. You will need to know how much speed and memory to get also. If you for any reason do not think that you are getting what you will need from the equipment then you may need to return it. If you can not return it then at least see if the item can be upgraded. If you need to return it then speak with the vendor from whom you purchased the unit.
A data logger is an invaluable piece of test equipment. With so many units available, it is important to know which one will best suit your specific needs. Make sure to get one that performs all of the data storage functions that will be required. Also make sure that your testing equipment is totally compatible with the info storage unit that you select to serve your purposes.
