USB flash drives are handy to carry around but also easy to lose. Which is why you should secure your personal data on the drive with strong encryption. Rohos Mini Drive (www.rohos.com) is a free utility that creates an encrypted partition on a USB drive which you can password protect. Encryption of your data is automatically done with AES 256 bit key length, making it extremely difficult to access by hacking. The free edition has a limit of a 2GB virtual disk size (but you can use it with USB drives of larger capacity; just the encrypted partition is capped at 2GB). Rohos Mini Drive has full functionality, but the paid version offers a few extras. Rohos Disk Encryption is the full version of the software, which can be purchased for $35.
