You can download software that will encrypt the entire hard drive and require a password to unlock it.

By katemongo 1190312981 Reply Spam [+19] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- To disconnect the USB
You have to sever the connection to the existing circuit.
By NK5 1190313767 Reply Spam [+16] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
You go enhance the design with diodes and then leave the existing circuit intact, but then Windows might see the UPS and send warnings that the battery is gone, blowing your cover.5848172 - 1

Not a chance. Modern hard drives are very well shielded.

expose it to a neodymium magnet? Will it turn green??

Anything too large and the single USB connection may not be able to power the drive correctly.

I'd say keep it under 40 gig.5848172 - 1

But, honestly, as inventive and geeky as this is, wouldn't it be easier to just put the entire 2.5" enclosure inside the empty UPS case? Why bother with all the cutting/soldering?

Why not just connect the external drive usb cables to the UPS input cable. That way, you are connecting directly to the external drive located inside the UPS.
Anyway, well done. Very good thinking.
But what if the thief wants to steal the UPS? or the kids takes it to school for his project?? emmm. Password protected... encryption maybe

Awesome how to! But there is a much easier way to achieve what it offers you just rar your "important" data and set an encrypted password over 8 digits, cause if they are less they can be hacked easily with brute-force method.
