The security of one's personal data is very important nowadays, and that's why almost all of the portable storage devices released lately have some sort of data protection system, generally a password or even a fingerprint reader. However, it seems that for some people even this is not quite enough, and that's why the Japanese company Thanko has released a very special USB Stick, the Secure Morse Code Flash Drive.

The device is actually quite interesting, since it has a pretty unique accessing system, based on a system of passwords. Thus, the Flash Drive is fitted with a numeric keypad which allows the user to set a password for accessing the device itself and another one for accessing the data contained within. When the first password is inputted, the computer recognizes two separate drives. However, the data (which can be found on the second, "virtual" drive), can be accessed only by inputting a second password, established especially for the aforementioned second drive.

Besides being so very secure, the Secure Morse Code Flash Drive is also pretty tiny (measures 80 x 54 x 10 mm, a little bigger than a credit card), with aluminum casing and a USB cord for easier attachment to the system. The device is available in two models, one sporting a memory of 512 MB (at around $60) and the second one a memory of 1GB (at about $85), and it could prove to be a very good solution for those people who are really worried about the safety of their data.
