Freecom today launched the Hard Drive Secure, a compact and portable external hard drive that allows users to lock their data with a simple swipe of the AES-encrypted RFID keycard. The drive is perfect for security conscious home users. Passing the keycard over the reader on the hard drive either locks or unlocks the system, giving users access to their data in seconds while ensuring that their files remain secure at all times. The Hard Drive Secure comes with two keycards, one of which can be stored away safely in case the first is lost. These cards eliminate the need for passwords and are AES encrypted to provide ultimate data protection – even if the drive is stolen, unauthorised users would have no way of accessing the files stored on it.

Samsung today introduced its new 250GB 1.8 inch hard disk drive, which is dubbed as the Spinpoint N3U. The storage device uses a native 2.0 USB interface that will eliminate possible points of failure due to loose cable connections and optimizes performance by eliminating the interrupt service time for the bridge board to convert PATA to USB signals. What makes the N3U more special is that it consumes about 40 percent less power than a 2.5-inch hard drive of an equivalent capacity. Available in 120GB, 160GB, 200GB or 250GB storage capacities, the Spinpoint N3U will be released later this month with a MSRP at $199.00. [AVING]
