ABS-Secure Encrypted Backup Solution (160GB)

The ABS-Secure Encrypted Backup Solution (160GB) external hard drive is almost bulletproof, but it exacts a price for its high level of security.

The price of security is giving up some convenience. That maxim definitely applies to the ABS-Secure Encrypted Backup Solution by CMS Products ($180 list). True to its name, this external hard drive is very secure, with 256-bit AES encryption for the entire drive (as opposed to individual folders or files using software encryption utilities). The ABS-Secure extends CMS Product's ABS Plus external hard drive line to the security conscious (read: paranoid), and its encryption level goes far beyond that of its competitors. Although the protection is stronger, you do pay a price, since the drive is somewhat expensive and is more complicated to set up than its rivals.

*Bullet proof?? sound interesting....too gangsta' fo' external drive..
