Essential specifications

PIN access keeps control in your hands

Connect the drive using USB, then enter your user-configured PIN on its integrated keypad. The PIN can be 8 to 64 digits. Once unlocked, the drive makes its contents accessible to the connected device.

When you eject the drive, it locks and encrypts the data again. This gives you a clear way to secure files before carrying the drive away.

Hardware encryption for sensitive files

The drive uses 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption. Its firmware complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards, and its secure microprocessor is certified to Common Criteria EAL5+.

A secure USB controller checks its firmware before the drive can be unlocked. This helps defend against BadUSB attacks. The casing is also described as dust-resistant, water-resistant and tamper-resistant.

Connect across your devices

The drive is plug and play, with support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and server operating systems. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 1 and includes both USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables.

It is bus-powered, so it draws power through USB. Read speeds reach 171 MB/s, while write speeds reach 148 MB/s. Actual transfer times depend on the connected device and files.
