There's fingerprint scan drives too as mentioned bythe above member which I didn't mention after watching the promo video because I see them destroying USB ports on the laptop main boards themselves (and they are far from cheap), please don't use the things like shown in the promotional video, it looks like they are all pushing the drive down so hard they WILL break the USB port within the laptop. My son showed me the video just the other day. We cringed because we've replaced USB ports on friends laptops in the past, that and barrel jacks (power input) and both are far from easy to replace, now I just tell people to buy a new device.


BigW have the 32GB Verbatin drive for $60 Amazon AU have the Lexar 32GB for $62:

Sorry, my idea of far from cheap revolves around my disability pension.
