Set your PIN and protect your files
Enter your user-configured PIN on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. The PIN can be 8 to 64 digits long. When you eject the drive, it locks and encrypts stored data again.
Encryption runs on the drive itself, rather than relying on your computer’s software. The firmware complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards. A secure microprocessor certified to Common Criteria EAL5+ adds another layer of protection.
The drive also checks USB controller firmware before unlocking. This helps defend against BadUSB attacks. Its housing is dust resistant, water resistant and tamper resistant.
Connect across compatible systems
The drive supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and server operating systems. It is plug and play, so you can connect it to a compatible USB device without installing extra software.
USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables are included, helping you connect to different host ports. The drive is bus powered, so it draws power through USB. It has no Wi-Fi connection.
Check compatibility before ordering
- Confirm your device has a working USB port and supports external storage.
- Check whether your host uses USB Type-A or USB Type-C, then choose the matching included cable.
- Confirm your operating system is Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or a supported server system.
- Check that 500GB capacity and the 2.5-inch portable drive format suit your storage needs.
