The security "features" and the fact that a high-quality hard drive has been installed, have prompted me to buy.
However, precisely these security features make to me now trouble: from me undetectable reason turned after a few months of the first RFID chip the board always unwilling freely and gave his service eventually entirely. Now I live first with the replacement key and the fear that this goodbye suddenly.
On request from the customer service my first answered a trainee, in case of failure I had unfortunately bad luck - also Digittrade even have no way to reconstruct the key, and unfortunately my data were then complete. lost. According to my information from elsewhere, however, the safety function of this "cheap" option for hackers to be a joke (as well Digittrade itself had allegedly admit).
After the possible cause of the failure of the key interviewed explained to me that a permanent magnet (eg yes is used in mobile phone cases often as he) could erase the chip. Since I live in constant fear, so to speak, "losing" and the second key.
The alternative looks - after repeated insistence - now so from that I send the plate including the key, and get them back with 2 newly generated key chips. Only - empty / cleaned / formatted!
That I have to be careful never to lose my keys or misplace or forget at home, when I'm traveling, I knew when buying. That the RFID keys, however, are themselves so vulnerable, that makes me really happy and not spoil my fun at the otherwise high-quality processed hard drive but a little. That customer service for such cases - actually represent the GAU - a trainee no other specifications makes as the laconic saying that the data are gone, unfortunately, and I had myself writing a few times afterwards, to me at least, the prospect of the new -generation was named by 2 keys, I think this is in need of improvement.
This should be kept in mind at least, if one accesses the disk.
