Nice story by Steve Noviello from his CES 2011 coverage. Fast forward to the 2:19 mark.
At the RSA Conference in San Francisco, DataLocker is showcasing the DataLocker 3, a self-encrypting external hard drive.
The DataLocker 3 device includes a touch-screen with an alphanumeric keypad for authentication. The device offers two-factor authentication. To enable access the user swipes an RFID-equipped card and enters the password on the touchscreeen, at which point the drive becomes visible to the host computer's operating system...

The Data Locker DL3 builds on the Data Locker's previous personal secured storage devices that feature an enhanced touch screen, secure external USB hard drive with PIN-only access. The encryption and data management is performed at the device level and is completely platform and operating system independent, eliminating the need for any software and drivers.
"We've had considerable success with our Data Locker secure portable hard drives with the federal government and in business environments that require an easy to use and implement portable data security solution which is compatible with all operating systems and environments," said Jay Kim, Founder and COO, Data Locker. "By launching the DL3 at CES, we believe there are a significant number of customers who can appreciate the amazing simplicity of our approach to securing their portable data."
Data Locker Inc, the Overland Park, Kansas-based company made some news last week at the Consumer Electronics Showin Las Vegas when it unveiled its new encrypted USB 3.0 portable storage drive. The Locker DL3 features up to 1TB capacity; tight, government-certified 256 bit AES XTS-mode, full drive encryption; two factor authentication; and a touch-screen authentication panel.
The thing does everything but frisk you when you use it. Be polite; you want this thing to be on your side when you're in a foxhole.
Strange but true: There's absolutely no software, drivers, or anything else on this device. It would be perfect for the next sequel to "Mission: Impossible"; it self-destructs when necessary.
While most of us will never store valuable documents, let alone "Top Secret" documents, on an external drive, a lot of people however do use external storage for storing pretty important files! While in the grand scheme of things you personal diary, or favourite "pictures" you have collected off the Internet are not all that life and death important, you still don't want them ending up in the wrong hands. For many people, this means their portable drive needs to be not only robust, secure but also easy to use.

Everyday we are dealing with confidential information. We also need to ensure we properly back-up our files. The Data Locker, dubbed as The Most Secure Portable Hard Drive, is an external hard drive that is password protected. It works with both PC and Mac, has a touch screen, and has a “self destruct” mode that will destroy all data if a non-authorized party attempts to access the device.
For those of us dealing with highly-sensitive information, this seems like an incredible product.
