Fremont, CA, August 16, 2007 – Corsair® http://www.corsair.com, a worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, today launched the "Flash Padlock” family of affordable USB 2.0 drives, the safest way to secure your data while on the go. Priced starting at only $29.99, the Flash Padlock line of affordable USB 2.0 flash drives address the need for secure data storage through hardware technology, rather than software. Flash Padlock features "Auto-Locking," so the user doesn’t need to remember to enable the protective feature -- It will automatically lock and protect itself after removal from the computer.
With its simple touch-pad security PIN entry system, Flash Padlock can be unlocked quickly and confidentially for use as a standard USB flash data drive. Flash Padlock is impervious to “brute force” hacks or keystroke loggers that would defeat a software secured USB flash drive.
Flash Padlock is immediately available in two capacities:
* Flash Padlock 1GB ~ $29.99 USD MSRP
* Flash Padlock 2GB ~ $39.99 USD MSRP
Flash Padlock Security Features Include:
* Hardware-Enabled Auto-Lock Function: Device Auto-Locks in 15 seconds after removal from computer.

* Platform Independent: Works on Windows, MAC and Linux platforms without the use of additional software.
* Easy to Use: Direct keypad access and indicator lights make locking/unlocking simple and understandable.
