LaCie has introduced a new, encrypted version of its biometric access hard drive.
The SAFE Mobile Hard Drive, as it is called, comes with Encryption - with new DES or Triple-DES hardware encryption in 40GB, 80GB, and 120GB capacities.
According to company sources, the new encrypted model allows people to choose between different levels of security depending on their needs. LaCie SAFE with Encryption is helpful for transferring and carrying sensitive data without fear of misuse, unauthorized access, or intellectual property theft. Only fingerprint authentication grants access to the drive.
Compact SAFE drive casing is small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket or a bag.
Marie Renouard, LaCie Product Manager, said, "We have incorporated the latest access control and encryption technologies, and now offer two security level choices for addressing any professional or individual need for completely safe data storage. SAFE is the best deterrent for snoops who try to access your private files whereas SAFE with Encryption is better for those who need absolute security for their data."
LaCie SAFE Mobile Hard Drive with Encryption guarantees the highest-level protection for confidential files by employing hardware encryption in addition to biometric access technology. Data stored on the drive can be encoded in either DES (56-bits key) or Triple-DES (128-bits key) mode. The encryption key depends on a 24-character pass phrase stored onboard, making each drive unique and impossible to hack. Up to five different users can be registered with customized access privileges such as read/write or read-only.
Non-encrypted versions, called LaCie SAFE Mobile Hard Drives, are also available for people who simply need protection of their professional information at work, to safeguard files while on the road, and for parental control at home. These drives are accessed by fingerprint authentication but do not include hardware encryption.
LaCie SAFE Mobile Hard Drives with Encryption are now available in India through Transtek Infoways, and are priced at an MRP of Rs 13,000 apiece.
