EverythingUSB reviews LaCie’s 80GB SAFE Mobile HDD, which features “128-bit Triple DES hardware encryption and platform independent fingerprint authentication” for maximum security. Just swipe your finger over the sensor (three times) and you’ll be automatically recognized as an authorized user, unlocking the drive. Compare prices here. Here’s the bottom line:

If you need to feel secure with your data on the go, the LaCie SAFE Mobile USB Hard Drive will do just that. Its triple DES encryption in addition to the proven biometric fingerprint technology is enough to deter most people from hacking attempts…but due to this protection, the drive’s transfer rate slows to 16MB/s from the usual 25-30MB/s. The biometric is pretty cool also because it’s cross-platform so I can log in from both Mac & PC
