Most USB drives are housed in weak plastic cases, and some more they don’t come with protections both in hardware and software. The little GoldKey USB Token here is an exceptional, and it’d like to have your little attention here.
This gold-plated USB drive comes with all sort of security including highly secure 256-bit AES encryption, which acts automatically to protect any files that are put on the drive. It gives three layers of protections, which are user tokens, a PIN, and an optional finger print scanner.
The protection sounds a little too much, which might be kinda complex for average users. As it gives different levels of access which allows administrator (highest priviledge) and common users. And you can make use of its management utitlity to create up to 16 different groups of users with each having different access priviledges to different groups of files.
Besides, the creator of this GoldKey has even demonstrated how this GoldKey drive is indestructable by having a car running over it, and it stayed intact after that. And also she put it into a flying pan, set it on fire and threw it into a toilet bowl. But it still continued to work after that. Three funny videos are shown as below to show you how desperate they wanna prove that the GoldKey is so tolerable to stresses.
