Brando Hard Drive Enclosure Is Serious About Security, Protects Your Data With RFID Key
The Stysen E08 2.5" hard drive enclosure is designed to add an extra layer of protection to your sensitive data: RFID activation. By activating the RFID key near the box you can arm or disarm the on-board encryption, making stored data useful to you and useless to a thief. Sounds pretty cunning, especially the feature that means if it's locked and connected to a new computer, it appears as a virgin disk ready for formatting. charset="utf-8">galleryPost('StysenE08', 6,'StysenE08');

Hard Drive Enclosure Looks Like a Hard Drive
Okay, so now we're really getting confused. This is a USB 2.0 enclosure for your hard disk, and it looks like a hard disk. So what you're doing is putting a hard disk inside of an enclosure that looks like a hard disk. Is this what's called recursive humor? More »

Prestigio Leather Wrapped Hard Drives: Bad Idea?
Pardon my logic, but when I'm cold, I generally like to wear my leather coat because it warms me up. So wouldn't a leather coat around a hard drive be a bad idea? Prestigio has released their leather clad Data Safe II USB HDD available up to 120GB in size. It is a pretty average external hard drive: bus powered, encryption, passwording, etc. It is available in black and brown leather and would likely make your hard drive burn to a crisp, but at least it will look good doing so.

MVix Wireless HD Enclosure Now Available
If you ever wanted the coolness of a media center without actually have to buy or build a computer this may be for you. MVix is finally shipping their AV HDD enclosure media center that we first told you about back in May. This $300 enclosure syncs up with your network wirelessly with that big honker of an antenna via 802.11b/g/n. It will then connect to your entertainment center via composite, s-video, component or DVI. It supports the full spectrum of codecs including popular hits like DivX, XviD and AAC. It can also upsample to 1080i if your heart desires. And by supporting some early flavors of 802.11n it shouldn't have a problem streaming HD content, hopefully. No hard drive included, unfortunately, but it still sounds pretty snazzy for $300. More »

WeibeTech ToughTech Enclosure: Speed and Toughness
WeibeTech just enhanced its ToughTech Enclosure, where the company raised the bar on performance while adding more connectivity to the equation. The company started out by goosing its Oxford 924 bridge which performs faster than its Oxford 922 predecessor when using FireWire 800 and USB 2.0. Then there's that quick-like-a-bunny eSATA port, and you can either add your own 3.5" SATA 1 or 2 drive for transfer rates of 1.5 or 3Gbps, or get an enclosure with a SATA drive included. More »

Cooler Master X Craft 350 Enclosure (Verdict: Looks Pretty, Gets the Job Done)
The X Craft 350 is Cooler Master's latest venture into the world of hard drive enclosures. It is available in silver or black, both of which look very pretty and shiny.
