I saw that one, but it's not cost effective and it's not low profile like the &quot;blanks&quot;.

I think I found what I'm looking for and in different colors. &nbsp;They also sell blanks in packs of 10. &nbsp;This is esp. good for locking usb ports on laptops without any protrusions. &nbsp;My client has been looking for this solution for a while.<br />
<br />
From the UK only though.<br />

I'm looking for a way to physically lock the USB port on our PC's and laptops to specifically block users from pluggining in any USB storage. &nbsp;We're not looking for a software solution. &nbsp;This is the product we are looking for or something very similar to it: (<a href="http://www.everythingusb.com/usb_security_lock_13460.html" rel="ugc">http://www.everythingusb.com/usb_security_lock_13460.html</a>)<br />

ThinkGeek no longer sells this product, unfortunately. &nbsp;Any suggestions on where I can get this product (and with bulk blanks)?<br />

Thanks

USB port physical lock/block

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
