Made perhaps either to humor those who are slightly paranoid or to truly address the public's issues regarding data security (or both), Lenovo introduced the new ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive. Apparently called the Mobile "Vault" as well, the external hard drive comes with a keypad with the sole purpose of guarding your drive with a passcode. Up to ten users and one administrator can share a single 160GB or 320GB drive, each one getting a unique user ID.

Other than the physical keyboard, the drive also uses 128-bit advanced encryption as a security standard. The hard drive is as small as a 3x5 index card, is perfectly pocketable, and has built-in USB cable. Both the 160GB and the 320GB versions of the Lenovo ThinkPad USB Portable Secure Hard Drive will be available this mid-November for $179 and $219 respectively.
