Data Storage On The Road

The ASUS Eee 901 only has 12 gb of storage, so we need an external hard drive. With a 10mpx camera and lots of video at 60 fpm, plenty of storage is needed. Again, it has to be rugged - can you imagine losing all those precious photos and video of your trip; the idea makes me shudder.

The Toughest and Sportiest drive there is:

Secure hardware password protection
The ToughDrive Sport is equipped with a secure hardware 256bit password protection feature. Your password is encrypted and stored in a chip – the data on the drive can only be accessed by entering the correct password. The obligatory combination of the hardware chip and password to unlock the drive and access the data means that even if the internal hard drive is taken out of its original enclosure and assembled into another enclosure, people will never be able to access the data. Should you forget your password or should you lose your ToughDrive,
the only way for anyone to be able to continue using the drive is by reformatting it, thereby erasing all data. There is no possibility for password recovery. There is no safer way to protect your data !
