PIN access puts security in your hands

Set a user PIN between 8 and 64 digits, then enter it on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. Hardware encryption protects data stored on the disk. When you eject the drive, it locks and encrypts the data again.

The drive also has a lock-out function, plus dust-resistant, tamper-resistant and water-resistant protection. These features make it a practical choice for carrying confidential files. They do not mean the drive is waterproof.

Connect across your devices

The USB Type-C connection supports USB 3.2 Gen 1, and the drive is bus-powered. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux, server operating systems and Android. Plug and Play makes setup straightforward on compatible devices.

Both USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables are included. So you can connect to a range of USB-equipped computers without relying on wireless access.
