FOR USERS THAT NEED to lockup their company's proprietary documents or just their "private" files in a secure location, Lenovo's new portable security device may be just the solution. The Lenovo ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive which was announced late last year has been given a warm reception by those who have seen it in action. With nothing more complicated than a twelve button keypad the device makes encryption easy for the most non-technical users. 
The compact device weighs in at just a little bit more than most standard portable USB drives and fits in the palm of your hand. Features and Benefits: High-speed USB 2.0 Interface No requirement for an ac power adapter Driverless operation under Microsoft Windows XP and Vista All stored data is fully encrypted using the high level AES 128-bit security encryption Shock-mounted 160GB 5400 rpm hard drive Built-in USB cable with an integral storage slot Integrated high quality metal dome switch keypad for entering a 6 to 24 digit password for up to 10 user and 1 administrator ID USB extension cable for more flexible distance configurations Supplemental USB power cable to ensure adequate USB power Attractive protective carrying case Non-skid anti-vibration pads High quality ThinkPad soft touch paint Multi-colored LED device status indicator
The ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive 160GB retails at $179, while the 320GB model sells for $219. |
