Tim,
Rocstor http://www.rocstor.com/ makes external 750GB hardware TDES 192-bit
encrypted enclosure. It is OS independent and does not require you to load any
device driver. The performance is real-time as the product uses Enova
Technology (www.enovatech.com) X-Wall real-time cryptographic processor.
More, Addonics http://www.addonics.com/products/cipher/ makes similar hardware
encrypted external enclosure including hardware TDES and AES up to 256-bit.
Both companies offer key management platform for key generation, distribution,
archive, and management.
Regards,
Robert Wann
CTO
