Freecom Hard Drive Secure [2TB External HDD Accessed by AES Encrypted RFID Card]

Making sure that your information doesn’t get into the wrong hands can be a full time job for some people. This is especially the case when it comes to large enterprise organizations with trade secrets and other highly classified documents stored on their servers. As an answer to this market demand, German technology company Freecom announced today that they are releasing a new secure storage device called the Hard Drive Secure.

The 2TB Freecom Hard Drive Secure is a new concept for the arena of data protection. Rather than being protected by a password, this hard drive is protected by an AES encrypted RFID security keycard. The keycard is about the same size and shape as a traditional credit card and it provides access to the drive when it is swiped in front of the unit. According to Freecom, without the card there is no way anyone can get access to your information.

When it comes to data security, the easier it is to use the better. After all, if it’s too complicated most people won’t bother. Connecting the Freecom Hard Drive Secure is relatively simple. It uses a USB 2.0 port so you can pretty much hook it up to just about any computer without issue. It is sold pre-formatted (FAT-32) and can be used on both Windows PCs and Macs. For more information you can head on over to www.freeccom.com. The Hard Drive Secure sells for 349EUR (about $500). And from the looks of things these little beauties must be popular. The website states that they are sold out.
