Now you can hide your data with this stylish Hardbox enclosure that looks like a hard cover book. In addition to keeping your desk looking more “educatedâ€, you can hide the data on your 3.5 inch hard drive from prying eyes. This disguise would blend in too well next to your Harry Potter books.
The $300 hardbox, from Korean company Sarotech, connects to your PC via USB and features two status indicator lights on the front. Instead of integrating a noisy fan, the design keeps things undercover by utilizing the fake page detailing on the edges as a heat sync.
