“All things considered, I was impressed with the Kingston DataTraveler BlackBox. It performed admirably well even though it has to deal with on-the-fly 256-bit AES encryption. Also, the security process is relatively transparent in that all you have to do is put in your password and subsequently, the drive acts just like a normal USB flash drive. The build quality is excellent unlike some older DataTravelers I’ve owned; I soaked the drive in a cup of water for several minutes and it still worked.”Here are some more Storage reviews from around the web:

Waterproof sure, but would it survive swallowing?
For all those paranoid travellers out there, Kingston has the perfect USB drive for you. Their DataTraveler BlackBox 2Gb flash drive costs almost $100, but it does come certified under the US Government’s Federal Information Processing Standard as secure, which can be good for anyone carrying sensitive data.
