Key details for everyday use

Hardware encryption and password protection

Encryption is handled by the drive’s hardware, rather than relying only on software running on the host computer. This makes the drive a practical choice for transporting sensitive files. Password protection helps restrict access to the contents.

The drive also supports a secure session and firmware integrity checks. Its FIPS 197 certification is relevant for buyers who need a certified encryption standard.

A physical switch helps prevent unwanted changes

Use the write protection switch to choose read-only or read/write operation. Read-only mode helps prevent files from being overwritten when you are reviewing or transferring data. This is useful when you need to keep the contents unchanged.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 connects through a standard USB Type-A plug. Read speeds reach 140 MB/s, while write speeds reach 40 MB/s, depending on the computer and files being transferred.

Compatibility and management options

The drive supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1 and 8, plus Windows Server 2016 or later. It also supports macOS X 10.5 or later on Intel-based Macs and M1 Macs. Plug and Play support makes it straightforward to connect to a compatible computer.

Management features include remote configuration management and an anti-malware scanner. These options may suit organisations managing secure USB storage across multiple users.
