For this first try with the keypad/hardware locking system combination Corsair has made a lot of compromises which resulted in the drive being bigger, slower and more fragile than its older brothers. In the end, all these seem to be the necessary evil that enabled the Padlock to be so easy to use and unique. Still, theres not much doubt that those looking for intuitive and hassle-free data protection can simply go for either the 1 or 2GB versions (now found at sub-$40 levels) of the Padlock while those wanting something more tough and fast will have to choose other drives, like the Voyagers.
