Corsair’s Flash Drive Innovative and Flawed at Same Time

I can dig the hardware security and PIN mechanism of the Corsair "Flash Padlock,", along with its reasonable pricing of $29.99 for 1GB and $39.99 for 2GB. What I can’t dig quite as much is that I’ve ruined a few USB ports myself by accidentally pushing down on a plug. So, the idea of typing in the PIN while this things plugged into (what I believe are rather fragile) USB ports gives me the willies. Unless it’s a really light tough that’s required, or you have room to how with two fingers (you know, one underneath providing support) I’ve be worried about the wear and tear.
