PIN access keeps data protected

Set a unique PIN using the integrated keypad, then enter it to unlock the drive. Encryption takes place in hardware, so access protection does not depend on software installed on your computer. The drive also has a secure microprocessor designed to resist tampering and bypass attempts. If it detects an automated attack, it can enter a frozen lock-out state.

Connect across your devices

The USB Type-A connection supports USB 3.2 Gen 1, with a maximum transfer rate of 5,000Mbit/s. Actual drive performance is rated at up to 171MB/s for reading and 148MB/s for writing. Plug-and-play operation makes it straightforward to connect without installing software.

It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and server operating systems. This makes it useful for moving protected files between a range of systems with a compatible USB port.

Made for portable use

The 500GB hard drive runs at 5,400rpm and draws power over USB. Its silicone and rubber housing is dust-resistant and water-resistant, helping protect it during everyday transport. A cable lock slot offers another way to secure the drive in place.

Check compatibility before ordering

  • Confirm your device has a USB Type-A port or a suitable USB connection.
  • Check that your operating system is Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or a supported server system.
  • Confirm that 500GB is suitable for the files you plan to carry.
  • Check that your workflow can use keypad-based PIN access.
