Product Name: Seagate BlackArmor encrypted++ portable hard drives
Description: A 160GB portable hdd with government-level encryption. That’s only good if you put faith in our government to be competent.
Price: $150
In-store date: Q1 2008
Site: Seagate
Why it’s cool: Because people are paranoid about their data being compromised while on-the-go. $150 for 160GB rides the high-end of the price curve, it should be noted, so you’ll really need to place a premium on data security to fully appreciate the drive. It’s pretty shiny, though. Still, shiny = cool, right?

this article is about a Seagate drive, but the photographed drive shows a Maxtor logo. i guess they’re the same company now?
Yeah, some guy. Seagate bought Maxtor a while back and now uses the brand name for some of its products. Crazy, I know.

Riding the high end of the price curve? I guess it depends on your viewpoint. I’ve had my Flagstone Freedom encrypted USB drive from Stonewood Electronics for years and paid well over $500 for it back when I got it. For what I got, I thought it was cheap. Like I say – depends on your point of view.
