The IronKey is a hardware-based, high-grade encrypted USB drive, produced by a company of the same name, IronKey Inc. It was made with the idea in mind that there's a growing tendency for people to carry their data, documents and their applications with them on a USB drive.
This product is also a sort of personal encryption hub that serves many functions. The single most eyebrow-raising aspect of the IronKey is that it self-destructs if an attempt is made to read the data on the device without following the proper decryption protocol. Not with a bang or a flash; the data encryption keys stored on the drive will be erased, making the data impossible (or at least unfeasibly difficult) to recover. Tampering physically with the device (i.e., trying to crack it open) causes it to self-destruct as well.

The Ironkey is very secure, very durable and well made device. It is a bit overpriced though. Security wise, you can do the same thing for under $40. Check out this article:
