CipherShield Encrypted SSD Series prevents unauthorized access to your digital data with the durability/shock-resistance of Solid State Drive. To gain access to the drive, authentication will be based on two unique Cipher Keys. Unlike its counterpart with the collateral access method, this model requires both keys to be plugged in all the time while working with the drive. It is like getting a safe deposit box that takes two keys to open. This dual-key encrypted hard drive is suitable for a group setting where more than one individual is working on highly confidential projects. i.e. blueprints for the company’s next new products, top-secret programs, highly confidential legal cases, sensitive customer records, and financial information. USB 3.2 and the eSATA interface allow users to transfer gigabytes of data quickly - up to 5 Gbps of data transfer rate. CipherShield design features a chip embedded in the access key which matches the chip on the controller board. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system; removing the drive and connecting it directly to the SATA BUS will not defeat the encryption. CipherShield Encrypted Drive with Bilateral Access Mode will automatically lock down its content once power is shut off. And without both access keys, the data will not be seen or accessed in the event of theft or loss of the external drive. Unit is bundled with four keys and registration is required for key duplication. Power adapter not required, draws power from USB cable when using either USB or eSATA connection.
