Kanguru BioSTOR Biometric Portable Hard drive

Posted in Hardware, Reviews, Security by ubersoldat on November 5th, 2005.

While many portable hard drives exist, the Kanguru BioSTOR hard drive is one of the few, and one of the best, that features Biometric security. And what is this Biometric security? It’s a system that will scan your fingerprint and let you access the contents of the hard drive if, and only if, your fingerprint is a perfect match. The hard drives are USB 2.0 compatible, and can be purchased in sizes of 40GB to 100GB at prices ranging from $229.95 to $349.95 The hard drive can encrypt data at the rate of 1.6 gigabits per second. As soon as the hard drive is removed from your USB port, it automatically locks and remains at status quo until your fingerprints are scanned again.
