Lenovo ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive [Lenovo’s ‘Mobile Vault’]

Lenovo have unveiled a new portable hard disk drive, known as the Lenovo
ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive (or, as their press release
calls it, the 'Mobile Vault'), which, apart from being less than an inch
in thickness and 'approximately the size of a 3 x 5 inch index card',
offers an interesting take on hard drive data security in coming
complete with a numeric keypad allowing uses to directly password
protect their data using 128-bit advanced full disk encryption with
encryption occurring in real-time (thus dispensing with what Lenovo term
as the 'lag time' that ends to affect other similarly encrypted drives).

The Lenovo ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive comes in 160GB and
320GB capacities, allows for usages by up to ten unique user IDs, as
well as an administrator, and is being billed by Lenovo as being 'an
ideal tool for ThinkPad notebook PC users on-the-go or collaborating at
work'. (The ThinkPad being a Lenovo product, of course).

Due to begin shipping in mid-November, the 160GB capacity ThinkPad USB
Portable Secure Hard Drive will set you back around %180 whilst the
320GB capacity model comes in at just shy of $320. (Incidentally, if the
ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive's level of security is in any
way comparable to the apparent rarity of any decent imagery of the
product then you can rest assured that it's the pocket-friendly
equivalent of Fort Knox).
