Key details for secure file storage

Touchscreen controls and password recovery

A colour touchscreen with a randomising keypad provides access to the drive. On-screen instructions guide setup, while an administrator can set password rules. These can require a minimum length and prevent sequential or repeated characters.

If a user forgets their password, an administrator can unlock the drive with the administrator password. The user can then recover their files and reset their password. This provides a recovery route while keeping access under administrator control.

Manage drives across an organisation

Used as a standalone drive, the DL4 FE supports administrator-managed password policies. Organisations using SafeConsole can also apply management policies across their drives. These can include remote locking, erasing or sanitising, alongside brute-force protection and trusted-machine access.

The product description also identifies onboard anti-malware as a possible SafeConsole policy. This makes the drive suitable for teams that need central management as well as encryption.

A robust external SSD for compatible computers

The zinc housing measures 77 × 123 × 21 mm and weighs 295 g. It has an IP64 rating and an aluminium-and-black finish. Its USB Type-C connector uses USB 3.2 Gen 1, and the drive has a 2.5-inch SATA SSD inside.
