If you are looking for a secure external hard disk drive to store critical data on, the new Seagate GoFlex Turbo announced by Seagate this week might well be worth a look as it comes with 2 years of SafetyNet protection included.

The Seagate GoFlex Turbo drives are equipped with USB 3.0 interfaces providing 40% faster data transfers than current USB 2.0 drives. SafetyNet is also included with all new GoFlex Turbo performance drives and covers the owner for 2 years with one recovery attempt on your drive.

Just in case the worst should happen and you are unable to access the data on your drive because of physical damage to the drive, human error or software viruses, to name a few. For more information, visit the SafetyNet terms and conditions page. SafetyNet service currently is available only to legal residents of US.

The new GoFlex Turbo Drives with SafetyNet data recovery services are now available for $120 for 500GBs and $140 for 750GB of storage.
