Wired: Review: LaCie FastKey Secure USB Storage

It looks like an oversize USB flash drive but it’s actually a miniature SSD (Solid State Drive). It’s fast and secure, but prices range from $150 for 30GB to $475 for 120GB.


“LaCie’s FastKey is a mutt. It’s not sure whether it wants to be a svelte, mid-capacity SSD or a girthy, high-capacity USB stick.

At least there’s no doubt about the FastKey’s appointments, which are dazzling: blazing USB 3.0 speed, a durable but surprisingly lightweight ruggedized aluminum case, AES 256-bit encryption and up to 120 GB of storage. All squeezed into something that weighs about an ounce and can be clenched in your fist.”
