Mnemosyne's 10,000 puzzle USB

 

Are you an avid puzzle solver? Do you have 10,000 dollars lying around? Blow it all on a 16GB USB drive! With the ever growing importance of data security these days, most people feel file encryption is the best way of securing their data, however a company named Mnemosyne has put together a $10,000, 16GB USB drive housed inside a puzzle that must be solved to physically get to the memory within. Apparently simple encryption isn’t good enough.

 


The Puzzle opened

 

Now of course keeping files secure is of the utmost importance, but there are plenty of other cheaper solutions, that are dedicated to providing you piece of mind. And apart from the price tag, and how insanely difficult it must be to solve the puzzle, think of how hard it will be to put it all back together! 

 


Finally solved!

If you do feel the need to throw-away 10,000 dollars, I would not suggest when putting data onto this drive that the data holds some importance, e.g. your will, or birth certificates, your school reports or papers maybe. For I fear by the time you solved the puzzle, the extensions would have expired.
