The security of one's data is a very important issue nowadays, taking into consideration the huge number of data breaches that occurred over the past years. And this is the reason why a generation of new, secure USB flash drives has hit the market, much like the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Secure ID Stick, launched by the InnoDisk company back in the first half of 2006.



Thus, the device is accompanied by a special security application, which includes an AutoSecure & AutoRun function. The AutoSecure function ensures the security of data by authorizing the computers to either access or not the respective files. The AutoRun program allows users to either view pictures or play music whenever the device is connected to a PC or NB.



One of the most important features in the case of any portable storage solution is represented by the storage capacity, and the InnoDisk Secure ID Stick offers a little something for everybody, as it is available in 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB and 8 GB versions (entry-level / mid-range/high-end, according to today's standards). As most other devices of this type available on the market, the drive connects to a host computer via an USB 2.0 interface, which means that it can attain data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps.



The device from InnoDisk is quite versatile, being compatible with the most popular operating systems around, namely Windows XP Professional / Home Edition, Windows 2000 Profession, Windows Me, Windows 98SE and Mac OS 9.0 and higher (probably Linux as well), which means that this thing will probably work with just about any computer out there.



InnoDisk's Secure ID Stick is not exactly very expensive, at least compared to other similar devices available on the market, as the 2 GB version, for example, retails for around 40 US dollars.
