Friendly Computers found out about a new hard drive that is unusable unless it is unlocked with one of the security cards that it comes with.
Freecom's Hard Drive Secure in spite it's lackluster name is quite the shining star when it comes to security. Freecom drapes a 2TB hard drive in a USB enclosure that locks your data up tight. Preformatted fat32 for maximum compatibility you can use absolutely none of it unless you pass one of the two included RFID cards near the front of the drive. The RFID quickly unlocks the drive and from then on everything is butter with the USB 2.0 access and transfer speed.
Besides the slick security aspect of the drive the enclosure has some nice features as well. It has been built in an aluminum enclosure that is so well designed that it needs no fans. The fan-less design means that it should function nearly silently. Secret and Silent, they should package this with a tiny ninja sword to offset the dull name. At $500 for a 2TB USB drive is a bit steep but with price of data leaks being much higher it's easy to justify and appropriately Freecom is already sold out.
