Crypteks USB, inspired USB drive by The Da Vinci Code

If you ever have to transfer or store some very sensitive data, this is the answer to it! A cryptex like USB drive featuring a physical lock and 256-bit AES hardware encryption to store all your sensitive and private data.

What is it?

Inspired by the "cryptex device" from the Da Vinci code, Crypteks designed a cryptex like USB drive to protect sensitve or private data. It consists of an aluminum-bodied cylinder with five rings, each containing the letters of the alphabet. Twisting these to the correct combination lets the USB stick within slide free.

With not only a physical cryptex lock, which allows 14.348.907 unique passwords combinations, but also a 256-bit AES hardware encryption your data is stored on probably one of the most secure USB drives around at the moment (if you didn't used the same password for the hardware encryption and physical lock at least)!

Price

The company is currently fundraising on Kickstarter and had a goal of 12.000 USD, but has already gained over 130.000 USD with still 8 days to go! If you donate 130 USD, you will get a 8GB version of the USB drive, if you donate 160 USD you will get a 16GB version of the USB drive. So my guess is that you will have to pay a 110 USD for the 4GB version, a 130 USD for the 8GB version and a 160 USD for the 16GB version once it becomes for sale in a shop. This is a bit pricy for a USB drive, but privacy is priceless right?
