The 4GB flash drive encrypts all data with 128-bit AES, and then adds an extra layer of security: a self destruct feature. If anyone tries to use a brute-force attack to guess your password, the drive will automatically erase itself after 25 wrong guesses.
Now that’s what I call secure, or at least it would seem to be. The 128-bit AES encryption should be enough to prevent a brute-force attack in any case but the 25 guess limit adds a good second tier of security.
A question does come to mind though what is to prevent the copying of the encrypted data off the drive to stage a brute-force attack on the data using a different machine?
