USB flash drive with built-in OLED screen and biometric fingerprint scanner

USB flash drives need more effort on the security for the data stored on them. As USB flash drives have storage capacity as big as 64GB, many users will use flash drives as their primary storage to store their important data and bring along anywhere they go.

The portability of USB flash drives will normally be an issue, which leads to users to forget or misplace their drives, and eventually leads to important data fall into the hands of their rivals. This may jeopardize your career or any business opportunity.
Ennova Direct Corporation (DBA ION Technologies) has introduced a new USB flash drive that comes with a built-in OLED display. This little OLED display on the flash drive is meant for additional security, where it has a built-in biometric fingerprint scanner that needs users to authenticate via it before being able to access the data on the drive.

The user needs to swipe the finger across the sensor, and the OLED screen will change color depending on if it was successful or not. The OLED display of this flash drive also provides an interactive interface which allows the users to select files and functions from the drive itself.

Another plus is this USB flash drive features a retractable USB connector, where there is an integrated cover, when closed protects the USB connector and the biometric fingerprint scanner at the same time.
