    RFID is not supposed to be secure by itself. It's how you handle handshakes and data transmission that determines security.

    As the release notes mention AES security for the RFID cards, there is a good chance they're actually secure. Or not. Let's wait a while and find out.

    In reply to Freecom's 2TB Hard Drive Secure Keeps Data 'Safe' with RFID
    are they saying they are AES encrypting the drive itself? or is the lock just in the disk controller? because if i can just pull the drive out and stick it in another enclosure to get the data, it would be a kinda useless security system. their description and claimed transfer speeds make me think the later (useless) scenario is the likely case, but its really not clear from their product sheet.

    I also have two fanless external HDDs. One Maxtor, one Seagate, both USB with power bricks. The Maxtor is IDE internally, and the Seagate is SATA internally. I keep them on all the time since the strip they're plugged into is hard to reach and they both have sleep modes, and neither has a switch. They're right next to each other, and neither gets warm to the touch. Hell, I've had MICE that got warmer than my fanless HDDs.

    Tinfoil? OMG, you ARE part of the conspiracy.

    Everyone knows that tin and/or aluminum foil does NOTHING to prevent thought reading/stealing, abduction hypnosis/coma, telepathic commands, etc... The only way to effectively block these is using Velostat, but "THEY" don't want you know this.

    As you can see from the cap my assistant is wearing, it is easy to construct a cap to prevent "them" from altering and/or reading your thoughts. If you want to save yourself, please check out this link for how to build one of your own.

    Do what you will to me Rosa, for exposing your treachery. I have my cap on, and no one can take it off, because it's held on with string. In a knot! HAHAHA.

    I'm already afraid of losing a wallet, keys, thumb drives & covers, bluetooth adapters & covers and money itself, all I need is 2 more cards required to access anything on the drive to be lost. $500 down the drain.

    And there will always have to be new encryption types. WEP broke, which breaks my Nintendo DS Wi-Fi usage, and I'm sure they'll break WPA, RFID, WHATSAMIGIGGERTHATWEWERETOOLAZYTONAME..., and others. That's what hackers do. And always will be doing.

    Snow Leopard coming out soon...when? When?


    Apple keeps this crap secret and it bothers me. I purchased Ilife for Christmas, and in January, boom! New ilife! So now I'm still using the old OS and waiting for Snow Leopard, but how long must I wait?

    In reply to Western Digital 2TB My Book World Drive Uses One Single 2TB Disk
    Can we see the footnotes? Usually their "mac format" edition is actually FAT32 and fucks people over, seen it happen a million times *shakes head.* Also I like the ports on the studio addition but think its funny that the Mac addition is USB 2.0.


    I'll stick to buying their HDs and putting them in my own enclosures, thanks.

    That 2tb disk will save me some desk space though.

    @TheCrudMan: I guess they're thinking firewire is a studio thing, a protocol sequestered to the ghettos of a/v production rather than a common port wandering freely throughout the mac universe.


    (yeah - I know, the new firewireless Macbook, but that's the worst decision Apple ever made and shouldn't count).

    @taking_this_easy: I concur with the humping dog there. however, Barracuda drives only got shitty after the Maxtor merge and 11 generations. My .10s are going great, and my 9's haven't had a hiccup ever.
