Ritech BioSlimDisk
I’ve been looking for a USB stick for some time now. I tend to store documents I need a lot either on my phone or on Writely, but that can sometimes be a problem, when, for example, there’s no internet connection available.
Quite some time ago I read about this stick in a computer magazine and the reviewer was quite positive about it. At least, more positive than the other USB sticks out there (they were all sticks that used biometrics to protect the data on stored on it).
The points they found to be a plus were:
- Flawless fingerprint recognition
- No drivers or extra software needed to connect to hook it up to your (or any other for that matter) computer and thus not leaving a footprint
They only mentioned two drawbacks, namely the fact that it’s quite bulky and the fact that the encryption method is not known.
Let me add another drawback, its price: a staggering €249 for a mere 512 MB.
