Super Talent debuts SuperCrypt thumbdrives with USB 3.0, 256-bit encryption
Hot on the heels of its USB 3.0 thumb drive the kids at Super Talent have announced the SuperCrypt line of secure portable storage. These devices are available in capacities up to 256GB and offers up to 240 MB/s transfer rates, with your choice of either 128-bit ECB (SuperCrypt) or 256-bit XTS (SuperCrypt Pro) encryption. As for the rest of us, this bad boy is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0, so you’ll be able to access Grandma’s famous top secret chicken recipe (why else would you own one of these?) on damn near any computer you need to. No word on a price or release date, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled. In the meantime, feel free to check out the PR after the break.

IronKey ships uber-secure D200 USB flash drives
IronKey has never been one to shy away from sensational claims, but for whatever reason, it’s announcing its newest secure drive in a rather low-key fashion. Or, somewhat so. The D200 range of USB flash drives are said to be more manageable and secure than ever, offering up the peace of mind necessary in government and enterprise scenarios. The new devices include policy enforcement, usability and field-maintenance capabilities, a dual-channel architecture for rapid transfers, the ability to double as an authentication token and a self-defense mechanism designed to resist “physical, malware and password attacks.” It’s available in 1/2/4/8/16GB capacities and should withstand most encounters with water and shock, though it’s on you to dig up the presumably lofty MSRPs.

Homemade GPS puzzle box puts a modern spin on treasure hunts
We’ll readily admit that most Arduino mods tend to be exercises in creativity (and eccentricity) with little real world utility, which is why this one piqued our interest. A wedding present conceived of and built by Mikal Hart, the box you see above is set to only open in one particular geographic location, and the puzzle of it is to find out where that might be. You’re allowed 50 attempts at opening the box by hitting the button next to the LCD screen, which in turn gives you a distance from, but not direction to, your destination. What tickles us about this idea, aside from its ingenuity, is the potential to use it without the helpful hints in securing your own valuables. Check out the read link for a full shopping list of ingredients and the amusing reaction to the quirky gift.

Freecom’s Hard Drive Secure for the businessman paranoid
It might be a butchering of English grammar — the adjective typically goes before the noun — but the Hard Drive Secure does have a pretty unique selling point to offer. The USB 2.0 drive’s security is handled by AES-encrypted RFID keycards — swiping the card once unlocks the drive, swiping it again locks it back up. Using similar technology to London’s Oyster Card, we trust Freecom has made sure their new device is not susceptible to the Mifare hack that exposed vulnerabilities in previous RFID systems. Though not yet available to purchase, the aluminum-enclosed HDD will retail for between $119 for the 500GB version and $409 for the 2TB behemoth, while in Euroland prices will range between €99 and €349. If Freecom lets us customize the security cards to our own tastes, we might be tempted to snap up a few drives for the Engadget mansion.
