Buffalo Japan has launched a USB drive with security function to protect your valuable data. The pen drive includes a security software which asks for password verification prior to accessing the data. So even if your drive gets lost, you don't have to worry because the data has been encoded and no one can access it without password. It's available in 256MB ($63) / 512MB ($67) / 1GB ($110) / 2GB ($195) capacity.

The drives will be available from April in the Japanese market.
