STYSEN E08 RFID External hard drive kit

Stysen have released the E08 external hard drive kit, a 2.5 inch hard drive housing featuring high speed USB 2.0 and RFID key recognition for increased security.

If you're frequently concerned about how secure your external hard drive data is, then why not lock it up with RFID? This is certainly one of the more secure methods that I can think of. The E08 comes with two RFID sensor keys that should both be activated when you use the drive for the first time. The drive is locked or unlocked by bringing the RFID keys within close proximity to an RFID sensor on drive housing.

So what happens if you lose both RFID keys? Your data will probably be locked away for ever as the Stysen documentation says that they can't provide a third key and if the enclosure is removed from the disk it will re-format itself, erasing all your data. Perhaps a good idea would be to store the second key in a safe deposit box for peace of mind!
