PIN access puts security at the drive

Enter your own 7–15-digit PIN on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. Hardware encryption protects data in real time, while the drive’s dedicated secure microprocessor is designed to resist tampering and bypass attacks. If it detects an automated attack, it enters a frozen deadlock state.

Because setup and operation are software-free, you can use the drive across supported operating systems. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, server and mobile operating systems.

Practical speed and portable protection

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection supports transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s. The drive’s stated read speed is 171 MB/s, with writes up to 148 MB/s. Actual transfer times depend on the files and the connected device.

Its aluminium housing weighs 216 g and measures 84 × 124 × 19 mm. Dust, water and wear resistance help protect it during everyday handling. A Kensington cable lock slot provides an option to secure the drive in place.
