This crypto disk is supplied with a neoprene carry pouch, a USB extension, a USB power cable and brief instructions. Its USB transfer rates: 33 MB/s read and 30 MB/s write are more or less state of the art. The drives can be ordered from the Lenovo UK web site at £108.16 for the 160 gigabyte drive and £159.50 for the 320 gigabyte version.

When you plug the drive into a USB port on a PC, initially nothing happens – apart from the status LED lighting up. Only after you log in with a six to sixteen-digit PIN, using the built-in numeric pad, does the controller allow the PC to access data. Once unlocked the drive does not require a driver and it acts like any other USB mass storage device. There is an admin mode that allows the user to set access codes for up to ten users.

• No PINs or cryptographic keys are kept on the disk; all the key related data is stored in the controller.

• Controller encrypts the complete disk with the AES-128 algorithm

Lenovo's ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive is a rock solid data security product.
