Peering into somebody's hard drive is one way to know a person better, based on the documents stored as well as the person's Internet surfing habits. Since this piece of hardware contains extremely personal data, why not secure your data with LaCie's SAFE desktop hard drive? This external hard drive offers up to three levels of security that makes sure unauthorized eyes will not get a whiff of what's going on within. The first hurdle to overcome would be a fingerprint scanner that stores up to 5 different users, while the firmware lock stops the hard drive from operating should it be physically removed from its external housing and installed into a different PC. The final obstacle is a chain lock port that holds it down physically to the nearest immobile object. Available in 160GB, 320GB, or 500GB sizes, the LaCie SAFE desktop hard drive is priced from $149.99 upwards.
