Do you want secured data storage on a USB Flash drive or a port dongle. They are not the same. A real port dongle has minimal storage and simply acts as a hardware key lock. There are a lot of so called USB dongles that meet the first definition. It sounds like what you really need something like what what meets the second one.

Here are a couple

MAI Digital Security
MAI Digital Security sells several types of port dongles: Parallel Dongle, Serial Dongle, USB Dongle. The USB one protects software from piracy using the USB port.
