Abstract: CES is about the future, but it’s also a time to think about the past; specifically keeping the past safe when traveling by backing-up.Many of us just have one laptop, and when traveling the data on that computer is at greater risk than normal. The ext...
Lenovo made quite the storage device with the ThinkPad eSATA Secure Hard Drive. The design is based heavily on their ThinkPad family as the name implies, with two levels of data protection. On the passive side the drive is shock mounted inside t he enc...
320 gigs of storage for your sensitive data, secured with NSAlevel encryption — you can't so much as view a thumbnail without punching the proper numerical code into the keypad. Sturdy build.
Setting up and changing pass codes is a chore. Disconnecting drive is tricky on some operating systems (cough, Vista, cough). Wildly expensive compared with regular drives of similar capacity — but if you need this much security, MI5 is probably foo...

Priced at $175 ($143 for the 160GB model), the 320GB Lenovo ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive is a nicely designed external storage unit that complements ThinkPad notebooks. Certainly, it can be used with other systems, but you’ll have to drag and drop...
Security without programs, easy to install, easy to use, light and small
more spendy that other drives, useless if you forget your password, no official support for MAC / Linux, not a speedy drive
If I had to make any recommendations, it would be that if you have a lot of secure documents that you travel with, the Lenovo SecureHDD makes a lot of sense. If youre looking for a fast external drive that doesnt need that much security under the bel...
Dead-simple security. Supports up to ten different users. No software install needed. Mac compatible. Nice keypad feel. Permanently attached USB cable. Intelligently designed carrying pouch.
Pricey on a dollar-per-GB basis. No software included. Needs included USB auxiliary power cable for heavy write sessions. Some security experts may consider its numerical code system too simplistic.
Styled to work with Lenovos ThinkPads, but works with all PCs and Macs. If you have a need to keep your data secure, it doesnt get simpler than the Lenovo ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Drive....
