Add as a preferred source on Google

As the world’s first fully ruggedized, pocket-sized hard disk drive (HDD), Outbacker comes in two sizes, 20 gigabytes and 40 gigabytes. Both versions come with full AES encryption capability, biometric (fingerprint) access control, and USB 2.0 connectivity. The Outbacker is compatible with Windows 2000 SP4 and XP SP1 and has a zero footprint mode making it truly portable.

“With data theft and corporate espionage exploding onto the front news pages every day, we need to put a stop, once and for all, on cyber-crime,” said Mike Kieran, director of sales and marketing at MXI. “The Outbacker offers real peace of mind and ease of use for anyone concerned about protecting information,” he added.

Outbacker’s huge storage capacity and ultra fast data writing means users can quickly and easily package the entire desktop, Internet favorites, documents and email files, on a single, secure and completely mobile device.

“We have a backlog of interest from large enterprises and government organizations, particularly the military, because of the potential applications this device holds,” reports Kieran.

The Outbacker’s multi-layer security and 128 bit AES encryption delivers full confidence to its users by ending fear of device theft. The Outbacker permits the storage of up to 5 users each with 2 fingerprints, so the device can be utilized by more than one person in an ultimate secure fashion, with individual PINs being enrolled.
