Stardom Staray S2-U Biometric Finger Print Reader 2.5" IDE Caddy The Stardom
Staray S2-U Biometric Finger Print Reader 2.5" IDE Caddy features Biometric
Finger Print Authentication, is what this is all about. It's basically a 2.5"
IDE Caddy with a belt & braces approach to security. OK Biometrics has been
around a while now, and it basically involves scanning a part of the human
anatomy that's unique to every individual person, such as the iris in your eye
or a finger print. With me so far? good. So this has fingerprint reader
biometrics. Simply put you pass your chosen digit of the reader on top of the
caddy and hey presto it lets you in to your documents. But, there's more
besides, the software that it supplied with the unit also allows you to store
and check e-mails on the move (you enter the settings for either Outlook Express
or Microsoft Outlook, and plug your Startay into any internet connected PC and
you can check your e-mails) and you can also take your browser with you too,
well you can take Internet Explorer with you. It works exactly the same way as
IE on your PC, you can store your favourite links and browse via any Internet
connected PC. As an add-on to this, any site where you need to log into, you can
save these too, your details will be stored on the Hard Drive securely of
course. All this is acheived because the software runs from the Hard Drive in
the caddy itself, so its smart and can remember things. Unlike me. There are a
few other applications that come with it. Such as Secure Document Area, a
synchronised copy of My Docs from your main PC and Personal Back Up which as the
name suggests backs up your personal data from your main PC. All in all its like
having a laptop without actually having a laptop. |
