Essential details at a glance

PIN access keeps protection in your hands

Set a user PIN between 8 and 64 digits, then enter it on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. When you eject the drive, its data is encrypted again. This means access is controlled at the drive itself, rather than relying only on your computer’s login.

The firmware complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards. A secure microprocessor certified to Common Criteria EAL5+ and protection against BadUSB attacks add further safeguards.

A practical fit for different 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 special software.

Both USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables are included. This gives you connection options for devices with either port. However, the drive does not use Wi-Fi or Thunderbolt.

Built for portable use

Its red plastic housing is dust-resistant, water-resistant and tamper-resistant. LED indicators provide visible status information while you use the drive. The 2.5-inch form and 254g weight make it suitable for carrying between workstations.

Read speeds reach 171MB/s, while write speeds reach 148MB/s. Actual transfer rates can depend on the connected device and files being copied.
