When LaCie came out with the ingenious key shaped itsaKey, one might say that a small USB revolution was started. A key moment in flash drive history, so to speak. Demand and popularity became so high that 4 more LaCie USB Keys have been released since then – with new shapes, higher capacities and slimmer USB connectors. The cool thing is that you really can’t tell the difference between these and regular keys, so you may have to look twice when sitting in front of your computer and getting out your key bunch. If you don’t want to put up with that, LaCie also offers a couple of non-key designs – equally handsome and practical.

So imagine you empty your pockets in front of your friends or associates and none of the coins or keys are actually real.

C’est la vie with LaCie!

The IronKey prides itself as the world’s safest flash drive and rightly so. It is shielded on the outside with a rugged metal shell as well as inside with solidly encased chips. The most decisive and guarded of these is the Cryptochip. Meeting highest military standards, it is responsible for password security as well as automatic and constant data encryption. The IronKey is offered in three lines: Basic, Personal and Enterprise. The Personal is ideal for regular users with internet demand and the Enterprise for corporate environments, offering the most features. The Basic on the other hand has no fuss and thus risk factors, making it the most secure. Depending on needs and budget, each line is offered in the S200 or D200 variation.
