Buffalo Unveils USB Flash Drives with Built-in Malware Protection
Buffalo released the RUF2-JVS series of USB flash drives, which come with built-in virus and malware protection, powered by Trend Micro. The drives have slide-out USB connectors, and measure 21 (W) x 55 (H) x 9 (D) mm, weighing 15 g. The drive uses USB 2.0 standard, and comes in capacities of 4, 8, and 16 GB. The embedded Trend Micro USB security software prevents viruses and malware from being copied onto the drive. The RUF2-JVS drives from Buffalo Technology will reach markets in mid-July.

how thats going to work with another AV on the system is a mystery to me, they'd likely conflict.
For that matter, if you disable autoplay like i do, is it even going to work without manually starting the software every time you plug it in?
What I'd really like, in terms of AV-resistant drives, is one with a physical write switch. Just leave it locked unless you need to write, or at least lock it when accessing public or otherwise suspect machines. I know I would have really appreciated something like that when I was working as a technician doing this stuff all day, every day...
