USB flash drives have entered our lives just like TV; we thought we didn't need them, and then we just couldn't live without them. And as the price has come down, and the capacity and speeds have gone up, they have become extremely versatile and indispensable gadgets for countless computer users.

There are some problems associated with all USB flash drives; one is that they can and are easily misplaced no matter how many key rings or straps you attach to it. Secondly, once lost, the data on the drive can be accessed by anyone whoever finds the drive.

Of all the gadgets that could be using biometric scanners, Transcend came up with the Jet Flash 210 that is a USB flash drive that has an in-built finger print scanner. This restricted-access ensures complete data protection even if u lose (not that you should) the drive. The scanner allows only the owner of the authorized digit (finger) to access the protected files on the device.

Reading this, you may think that the drive would be huge and uncomfortable to carry around. But the tinker tanks at Transcend have managed to give a biometric scanner and 1 GB storage space in a rectangular case that measures just 70 mm x 23 mm x 11 mm and weighs a mere 15 grams.
