With the huge increase in identity and sensible data theft cases we've seen lately, it's no wonder that more and more people are looking for data transfer and storage systems equipped with safety systems which will assure the complete safety and privacy of the data they're carrying around.
And one such device is the Bio Slider flash drive from Kanguru, which features an advanced biometric identification system, without emptying your bank account.
Thus, this very safe mobile storage solution has a built-in fingerprint reader which represents the key to accessing the drive. Without the correct fingerprint, the drive is locked down and made accessible only after an exact match of a registered fingerprint has been authenticated. Another very interesting fact about the Bio Slider is that all the saved fingerprints, as well as the program itself are stored directly on the drive, which can store up to 10 fingerprints. Moreover, if, for some reason, you're afraid that you won't be able to access your data, you can always set a recovery password.
Here are some of the most important features and specifications this biometric flash drive has to offer:
- dimensions: 75mm x 26mm x 11mm;
- weight: 16 grams;
- storage capacities: 512 MB up to 2 GB of flash memory;
- biometric system: AuthenTec AES2510 fingerprint sensor-500 DPI;
- fingerprints: saved directly on the drive;
- swipe speed: up to 15cm/s;
- writing Speed: 7 MB/s;
- resistance to shocks: up to 1000G;
- supports: setting of an optional recovery password.
As mentioned before, these things won't set you back too much, as their price range starts at around 100 US dollars, and you get some good value for your money, too, especially if you're really concerned about the security of your data.
