A few months ago, one of my uncles gave me a call regarding a solution for his patients personal data. According to the requirements of the ministry of health he has to keep this information on an secure encrypted drive.
After researching many options we came up with a relative inexpensive solution from Imation that is ideal to address these stringent regulatory health ministry requirements.
The Defender H100 External USB Hard Drive is a secure encrypted hard drive that supports both Microsoft Windows® 7/Vista/2000/XP and Mac OSX 10.5-10.7 operating systems. In fact the Imation™ Defender H100 external drive was the first USB hard drive to offer FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.
The drive is easy to set up as it is truly plug and play and has Strong password authentication. Having purchased and used the drive, I can truly say I would recommend this drive for your encryption requirements.
