Hi Barry,

There is a Corsair Flash Padlock. <http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/CMFUSBPADLOCK-4GB.pdf > <http://www.corsair.com/products/padlock/default.aspx> if you feel the need to buy another flashdrive.

Creating an Encrypted Disk Image on the FlashDrive as Neil has suggested is good. Just make sure to always eject -- since the disk image is encrypted, if it is damaged, the whole thing goes kaput!

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Barry,

One really easy way is just to use an encrypted disc image - all anyone can see is the image file - you just double click it to mount and it asks you
for the password. No password, no mount.

Just use Disk utility to create it.

Cheers



Neil

Is anyone aware of software to lock and prevent the contents of a
flash drive being seen?  I have used "lockngo" with Windows but it
does not work with MAC OS.
