Essential specs for secure storage

Control access with a keypad PIN

Set a unique 7–15-digit PIN using the integrated keypad. The drive requires the PIN before granting access, keeping the encryption control on the device itself. Also, its software-free design avoids installing a dedicated application to unlock or use the drive.

A lock-out function helps defend against repeated unauthorised access attempts. The drive also has FIPS PUB 197 certification.

Carry 8 TB of protected files

With 8 TB of capacity, there is room for large working files, project archives and backups. Read speeds reach 362 MB/s, while write speeds reach 358 MB/s. Actual transfer times depend on the host device and files being transferred.

The blue housing combines rubber and silicone. It is dust resistant and water resistant, making it suitable for carrying between work locations.

Connect across supported systems

The USB Type-A connection uses USB 3.2 Gen 1. The drive supports Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, so it can serve different systems without software installation. Check that your device has a compatible USB connection.
