PIN access and hardware encryption

Set a PIN of 8 to 64 digits, then enter it on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. The data becomes accessible after successful entry. Eject the drive to lock it again.

Hardware encryption uses 256-bit AES-XTS. The firmware complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards, and its secure microprocessor is certified to Common Criteria EAL5+. A flash lock mechanism helps defend against firmware attacks.

The drive also checks USB controller firmware before allowing an unlock attempt. This adds protection against BadUSB attacks. Dust, water and tamper resistance provide further safeguards during everyday handling.

USB-C connection across operating 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 host without a separate power supply.

The package includes USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables. This gives you options for connecting to different USB ports. Read and write speeds are up to 171 MB/s and 148 MB/s respectively.
