Key specifications at a glance

Hardware encryption for sensitive files

Encryption takes place in dedicated hardware, rather than relying on software alone. This helps protect files stored on the drive if it is lost or accessed without authorisation. Password protection provides an additional access control.

The drive also includes power-up self-tests, firmware integrity checks and secure firmware. These features support a security-focused approach when handling portable data.

Control writing with a physical switch

A built-in write protection switch lets you set the drive to read-only or read/write mode. Use read-only mode to reduce the risk of overwriting files when you need to access them without making changes.

The drive supports remote configuration management and includes an anti-malware scanner. These management features can suit organisations that oversee secure USB storage.

Check compatibility before ordering

The drive connects through USB Type-A and supports plug and play. It is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1 and 8, plus Windows Server 2016 or later. For Apple computers, compatibility covers macOS X 10.5 or later on Intel-based Macs and M1 Macs.

• Confirm your computer has an available USB Type-A port.
• Check that your operating system is Windows 11, 10, 8.1 or 8, Windows Server 2016 or later, or a supported Mac.
• Confirm 256 GB provides enough capacity for the files you plan to carry.
