With all of the portable hard drives, flash memory cards and sticks, and cell phones with internal memory it’s possible to carry all kinds of digital files anywhere you want. You may use a flash memory stick to carry documents to and from the office or school. Hard drives are so darn cheap, and they are not only getting smaller, but flash drives are increasing to 16GB and 32GB sizes at very affordable prices.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost one of your portable storage devices? What if it was stolen? It could be as bad or worse than if you lost your laptop! I saw an ad in a gadget magazine for a secure digital hard drive by Aegis with a biometric fingerprint reader in the top of the drive. The have a cheaper version with 128 bit encryption only, and another version with 128 bit encryption and biometric fingerprint reader. If you value your data – both are a pittance compared to what you could lose if you data were in the wrong hands.
