About the size of a large thumb drive, the LaCie FastKey USB flash drive is one of a kind. The drive is essentially a USB 3.0 portable drive that's based on solid-state storage. For this reason, it offers superfast performance and, unfortunately, also comes with a superhefty price tag of $475 for the 120GB version ($250 for the 60GB version, $150 for the 30GB versions).

The Good
The LaCie FastKey USB flash drive is the most compact and light USB 3.0 portable drive on the market. It offers superfast performance, up to 120GB of storage, and AES 256-bit encryption, and comes in a sturdy and stylish casing. The drive also includes software that helps prepare it for either PCs or Macs.
The Bad
The FastKey is expensive and, while compact for an external drive, bulky as a thumbdrive. Its USB lid is completely detachable and therefore could be easily misplaced.
The Bottom Line
The LaCie FastKey USB flash drive is an excellent portable storage solution for those who can afford its hefty price tag.
If you can afford it, however, it will be worth it. Apart from the stellar performance, it also comes with a sturdy, compact design and AES 256-bit encryption to keep your data safe.
