Freecom, a provider of external hard drives, has unveiled a product that uses RFID technology for access to the device.

Admission to the drive is controlled by an “RFID card” that a user swipes over the device to lock it and again to unlock it. The drive comes with two cards. It wasn’t immediately known what kind of RFID technology Freecom is using with the drive.

The drive comes in 500-gigabyte and one,one and a half and two terabyte capacities. Pricing start around $170. [end]
