Key specifications at a glance

Control access with a keypad PIN

Set a user PIN of 8 to 64 digits, then enter it on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. When you eject it, the drive locks and its data is encrypted. A lock-out function adds another access-control measure.

The secure USB controller checks its firmware before the drive can be unlocked. This helps defend against BadUSB attacks. The secure microprocessor is certified to Common Criteria EAL5+.

Keep files close at hand

At 512GB, this drive suits documents, project files and other frequently used data. Read speeds reach 448MB/s, while write speeds reach 444MB/s. Actual transfer rates can depend on the host device and connection.

The 2.5-inch drive connects over USB 3.2 Gen 1 and supports USB Type-A and Type-C. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux and Android devices. It has no Wi-Fi or Thunderbolt connection.

Designed for everyday handling

The black plastic housing is dust-resistant, tamper-resistant and water-resistant. These protections help with everyday portability, but do not treat the drive as waterproof. It measures 83 × 20.8 × 131mm and weighs 214g.
