Most USB drives comes with its own secure encrypting software. Even the not so famous JetFlash drive has it. So you do not need to have physical write protect switch on the drive anymore. Some of them are ANSI rated which means very secure. There was this software used to test the encrypted data, but i forgot where i d/l and kept it.

You should try that. It actually creates a single encrypted file. You run the program that u used to encrypt it, it expands the file and you have a virtual file explorer folder where you can create, copy and paste between windows. After u close that program the folders that you worked with is automatically encrypted back into the file again.

I guess you have never worked in a secure environment before. If you have drives that you can take here and there everywhere you cannot expect a little switch is going to secure your data. What if you forgot to WP the drive? And when you overwrite the file you aren't gonna get the old one back.

There are overpriced add ons you can buy. http://www.amazon.com/WiebeTech-31300-0192...s/dp/B002DH1P0W

And i assume you want to create a drive where it allows the data to go one way and not the other? Much like those broadband modem, HP printers with built in flash memory installers? Make a CD or DVD.

Or you could try these software. (No i did not try them as i have no spare ones to do it)
