This review is from: LaCie 301245 SAFE 160GB Mobile Hard Drive with Encryption and Biometric Access with Fingerprint (Personal Computers)

The built-in security feature of this drive seems to work well and I haven't had any problems with the drive or in using the biometric access feature. The only thing it lacks is the ability to lock the drive with the fingerprint reader as well as unlocking it (the USB cable must be disconnected to lock the drive).
