Fujitsu intros 300GB extern... |
Normally a producer of internal disks, Fujitsu today rolled out its External Hard Drive for home or business users alike who want absolute certainty about their files. Bundled with Cryptainer, the 300GB mobile-sized drive can guard volumes with up to 448-bit Blowfish encryption, making it one of the most secure external disks yet. It also includes a still significant 256-bit AES algorithm for circumstances when encryption speed is at least as important. The USB 2.0-based storage also has 16-point shock resistance and an EZ Gig II suite that can make both straight clones of drives as well as compressed images.The drive ships during the summer at a cost of $229 for the full 300GB, 4200RPM model. A smaller-sized but faster 120GB, 5400RPM edition of the External Hard Drive will also be available for $129. Both drives should work with any USB 2.0-supporting OS in a basic form but will require Windows to use the specialized backup and security software. |
