Control access with a keypad PIN

Set a unique 7–15-digit PIN and enter it on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. The design is software-free, so there is no security application to install before use.

A dedicated hardware security processor helps defend against tampering and bypass attempts. If an automated attack is detected, the drive can enter a frozen state. This helps make repeated access attempts ineffective.

Connect across supported systems

The USB Type-A connection works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and server operating systems. Plug and Play support makes setup straightforward on a compatible USB device.

Read speeds reach 171 MB/s, while write speeds reach 148 MB/s. These figures help you gauge transfer performance when moving files. The drive is an HDD, so it is suited to portable storage rather than a high-speed solid-state workflow.

Protection for everyday transport

The silicone and rubber housing is dust-resistant and water-resistant. A cable lock slot offers an option for securing the drive at a workstation. LED indicators show drive activity.

Check before you order

  • Confirm your computer or device has a USB Type-A port.
  • Check that your operating system is Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or a server OS.
  • Confirm 500GB provides enough space for your files.
  • Check that keypad PIN entry suits your access routine.
