There is a big difference in the security between this storage drive and the previously shown Personal Pocket Safe. The Aegis drive can be hacked via the USB computer connection. Personal Pocket Safe, on the other hand, is immune to computer/Internet based hacking attempts due to its DataLock protection. There is no open communication channel between the computer and the drive UNTIL the PIN is entered.

Agreed – this is not as safe of a device as the Personal Pocket Safe but it does provide larger storage capacity.
