Key specifications at a glance

Secure files with hardware encryption

The drive uses hardware encryption in AES-XTS mode, with password protection and brute-force attack defence. This helps protect stored information if the drive is lost or accessed without permission.

It is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified, certificate #2401. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification is pending. The drive also includes secure firmware and keylogger prevention.

Move files quickly and manage access

Read speeds reach 300 MB/s, while write speeds reach 170 MB/s. These rates make transferring work files more practical, although actual performance depends on the host system and files.

Remote configuration management and an anti-malware scanner support managed use across an organisation. A write protection switch also lets users prevent changes to stored files.
