SanDisk Cruzer Professional and Enterprise USB Flash Drives Offer Enhanced Security

SanDisk unveiled the new Cruzer line of secure USB flash drives aimed at business users. The Cruzer Professional and Cruzer Enterprise offer strong security and high-speed access to meet the demands of business users.

Both models come with password protection and hardware-based 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption. While most consumer USB drives use software-based encryption, the Cruzer line stands out in this regard. The best part is, it's still plug-and-play; you don't need to install special drivers for it.

With read speeds of 24 MB/s and write speeds of 20 MB/s (actual rates may vary, of course), the Cruzer Professional and Cruzer Enterprise USB flash drives offer speed advantages as well. Cruzer Professional lets you establish a Privace Zone that can cover up to 100% of the drive's capacity. The Enterprise, on the other hand, makes password protecction of the entire drive mandatory.

The Cruzer line is now available in the US, and will hit Europe in July.
