Introduction
One fairly popular niche segment for flash drives is the security market. The demands of flash drives in that market are quite different than the demands in other markets. Things like read/write performance, aesthetics, and even size (to an extent) are all secondary concerns compared to the amount of privacy that such drives offer. What is typical in the market are things like hardware-based drive encryption tied together with a "strong" password. This is coupled with some kind of auto-formatting if you screw up the password one too many times. While such designs work perfectly well, Imation thought it can do better. ASE Labs has the Imation Defender F200 Biometric Flash Drive on the test bench which brings a fingerprint scanner to the table in addition to the standard password system of other drives.

The Defender F200 comes in a straightforward, easy on the eyes box. There is a nice red gradient present on the box. In the front and center, you can see the drive itself behind a small window. There is also some more information about the security features in the bottom right corner of the box.
