com Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE), the European Headquarters for the electronic components business of Toshiba Corporation, announced on 22 October the launch of a new range of USB flash memory drives featuring a redesigned case and a maximum memory capacity of 16MB, double that of existing products.
With data storage capacities ranging from 16MB to 1GB (equivalent to 711 floppy disks), USB flash memory drives are remarkably easy to use--you simply plug one into a USB port and the computer recognizes it as a removable storage drive.
Competing USB flash memory drives claim to use strong encryption, but their encryption is frequently performed in software, not hardware, and the encryption key is typically derived by hashing a simple password, a process that can easily be broken by brute force attack.
