Flash drives are useful little gadgets because they’re small which means that taking it with you on the go is easy. Some are small enough to fit into pockets and on keychains, but the problem with being so small is that they can be easily stolen, lost, or misplaced. This can be disastrous if you have sensitive information on it.
However it seems that Lexar might have something for you if you’re looking for additional security on your flash drive. The company has recently announced the Lexar JumpDrive Fingerprint F35 USB 3.0 flash drive which as the name implies, is a flash drive that comes with a fingerprint sensor, meaning that users can protect their files using biometric security.
