RadTech recently introduced new models of it's Drivemate portable hard disk drives. The DriveMate is a "rugged and compact" 1 inch hard drive with an option of hardware-based secure token encryption (independent of platform). The devices slim-head usb cable won't block adjacent ports on your laptop.

Fast enough for all but the most demanding of applications, this looks like a viable solution for mobile back-ups and secure storage of data while on the road. Just make sure you keep an unencrypted version of your data elsewhere because if the hardware encryption becomes damaged you could lose your data forever.

The DriveMate is available in 2 and 8gb models with prices starting at $74.95US.
