Reliable, durable and once again built to last for travel, productivity and storage.

I used a previous version of this data delivery product a few years ago and it did not disappoint during a recovery from a business disaster. The instructions for setting up and using the PINs (admin and user) are easy to follow and when the drive is in the unlocked state it works like any other high quality USB drive. Depending on how I'm reading/writing (single stream or multiple), I got up to 40+ MB/s via the ultrabook's USB port. It was big enough and fast enough to do all of my needs and…

Pros
  • Separate admin and user mode
Cons
  • Some bugs

Safe and reliable product for computers and accessories

I like the security features of this drive. Remember that the connection requires a power source (it's not just USB). Includes power cord and USB cable. The device is large, about the size of a bound book, and heavy. If you only need 2TB, this company offers a smaller (physical) drive with similar security that only requires USB power.

Pros
  • TAA Compliant Made in USA
Cons
  • Updates

Works as advertised. Protects my sensitive financial information

Bought to store financial reports - better than keeping them on my laptop. Very easy to set up, offers a high level of protection with fast built-in encryption. A nice feature is that it locks after 15 minutes of inactivity (automatic access by unauthorized persons is prevented). Very easy to set up. highlighted.

Pros
  • FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Inside
Cons
  • Amendment

Good Solid State Drives in Computers and Accessories

Excellent device. Used for privacy by Hipaa for over a year. Robust, functional, reliable. Called support once about a small issue related to the operation. Sorry for the attitude at this level but we have about 6 of them or their smaller brothers that are used for secure backups that never need to be called except once. All work fine. The only problem is the 14 digit PIN we use, but that's not their problem. Also set it to destroy all data after 6 failed login attempts. **For those who need to

Pros
  • Brute Force Self Destruct
Cons
  • Negative Impression

Secure and Fast in Computers & Accessories

I just received this device and it was easy to set up. Input is via the keyboard on top and all software is encapsulated in epoxy in a sturdy aluminum case. After logging in, my new Windows 7 machine downloads music files at around 70MB/s, which is good for such an encrypted drive. All of my images also load at around 70MB/s. However, you cannot use the Windows 7 backup feature with this drive because it is a 4K sector size drive, which is the new standard. It will pause during the backup and…

Pros
  • Secure PIN Access
Cons
  • Not the best
