Protection is almost always needed in technology especially if it involves data. You can be secure with your data security by using the passcode-protected external hard drive from Lenovo. You might say that this is a bit old school but it sure does protect your files from would be thieves.

You can key-in a six- to twelve-digit combination on the ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive. So each time you want to access the data stored in the Portable Secure Hard Drive, be ready to key-in in sequence your passcode.

Lenovo said the drive meets the 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Security) standard, and stressed that the HDD’s “real-time encryption” ensures that there’s no lag time between you entering the code and data access being granted. Up to ten separate user IDs can be stored.


Technology geeks, be ready to shell out $190 for a 160GB model. ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive will be available in the US later this month.
