"When carrying your data becomes a necessity, and using web-based methods like server storage just aren't an option, you have two choices: flash drives, or portable hard drives, each with a number of possible security options, from password-protected encryptions to biometrics. Although solid-state drives are increasing in capacity and declining in price at a rate that will soon revolutionize the storage industry, if you've got a lot of data to tote, you're going to need a portable hard drive. With today's concerns about hackers and data thieves running rampant like characters out of a William Gibson story (not to mention government regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley), there's a good chance you'll need some sort of protection on that drive, so your company doesn't end up on the evening news as the latest victim of a data theft scandal. Today we'll be looking at Apricorn's Aegis Bio, a line of portable hard drives that attempts to meet all of these considerations. Let's see how it fares."
