Fujitsu 300GB External Drive: Big and Tough

The 4200RPM 2.5" bus powered drive features a "16-point omnidirectional shock mounting design" for some on-the-go ruggedization, an integrated USB cable and a slew of encryption options to lock down your precious bits in case of loss (if you're using Windows). EZ Gig II is a secure backup solution, Cryptainer gives you AES 256 or Blowfish 448 bit encryption and Second Copy 2000 (does adding "2000" to a product name still make it futuristic?)
