Origin Debuts 1TB & 750GB Data Locker External Hard Drives

Tweet

For many of us external hard drives exist not only for being mobile, but also for backup reasons. While storing and protecting all of your highly sensitive data are two different things, the folks from Origin have acknowledged that in the event of losing or getting your drive stolen it’s important to know that everything is being kept secure from naughty eyes, hence why they’ve upgraded their Data Locker external HDD lineup with the 1TB and the 750GB models.

Boasting a “powerful” military grade AES hardware encryption to secure your data and a 6-18 digit PIN number that prevents the drive to mount until the right code is being entered onto the small LCD display. Speaking of entering codes, the new Data Locker drives will make sure the keypad is randomized every time you need to type-in, preventing shoulder hacking.

On top of that Origin’s 1TB and 750GB Data Locker comes with a “brute force attack detect” that will self destruct all data just before the drive’s case gets cracked open, and there’s also a one touch drive erase for rapid re-deployment.

Priced at £399 for the 1TB and £299 for the 750GB model, Origin’s Data Locker is the pro tool you’ll need.
