besides encrypting wallet.dat etc
having some secure features on the flash drive itself sounds like a bonus.

just ran across this:
http://www.apricorn.com/products/hardware-encrypted-drives/aegis-secure-key.html

also heard about ironkey

thoughts? suggestions? other products?

crap - not under mining hardware but not sure where to put this thread

ok

If your'e looking a for secure independent wallet, i'd look into the Trezor http://www.bitcointrezor.com/ They are doing pre-orders for 1 BTC with a November delivery target and no shipping cost. If you are gun-shy about pre-orders {Thanks BFL!} one of the developers of Trezor is the founder of Slush's pool and has been involved in Bitcoin since the early days. I think having the wallet completely seperate from the PC is a must for wallet security.
