Review on Fortress Validated Hardware Encrypted Portable by George Kapoor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as advertised

The hard drive works well, there is plenty of space and speed, there are no problems yet. I found out the hard way that the disk locks every time the server restarts. This is to ensure that no one removes a hard drive from one server, connects it to another and gains access to data. There is a software option to change this to remain unlocked during a reboot when used in a secure data center, but that information is buried deep in the owner's manual and now I have to ship the drive back to myself, the option adjust, then send it back. Also works well with Microsoft Bitlocker.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
