Those that somehow still haven’t found a drive or drive enclosure that meets their security / paranoia needs may want to take a gander at one of Raidon’s recently released STARAY S Series “data encryption boxes,” which offer a number of different security measures to keep your data away from prying eyes. That includes plain-old software password protection on the S1 Series device, fingerprint protection on the S2 model, and keypad-based password protection on the S3 box (pictured above). Otherwise, each one will give you a so-called “X-Zone” partition on the drive that is invisible without the key, along with “S-Code” technology that encrypts the data in the X-Zone. You will have to supply your own 2.5-inch hard drive, however, although the enclosure’s screw-free design should at least make that a relatively easy process, assuming you can find one, that is — it seems like retailers are a little slow to pick these up.

We don’t yet know how much the extra security will tack on to the bottom line, but they’ll be out by the end of next month (in Japan, anyway).
