Hasta La Gadget!

Amongst the various high rollers who read Engadget — defense industry big wigs, international businessmen, and the like — security is a major concern, and over the last couple years we’ve seen quite a number of storage products featuring encryption, from IronKey thumbdrives to Seagate HDDs. If you’re a man (or women) with plenty of secrets and a free ExpressCard slot, this next item should be right up your alley: Verbatim’s SSD Secure ExpressCard features AES 256-bit hardware encryption, can be scored either in 16GB or 32GB capacities (with 64GB on the horizon) and is designed to securely delete drive contents after ten incorrect password attempts. Compatible with Windows 7, XP, and Vista, this is due to hit trendy European retailers soonish with prices starting at £90 ($150). PR after the break.
