💾 1TB Encrypted External Hard Drive - DataLocker (IronKey) H300 Review

Reliable product - Provides a decent first line of defense (to host a TrueCrypt container for example). I bought one in November 2014 and still use it daily. without problems. I'm not using it in an enterprise configuration, so I can't vouch for that aspect. Advantages of USB3.0 transmission speed

I have used other Ironkey products before and have never had a complaint. Avoid this particular product at all costs! Doesn't work with El Capitan and had issues with the previous OS. This has proven to be a very costly mistake.

I use it for work and it's a good hard drive. It's a little slow to read and write, but it's a VERY secure drive and a VERY good way to back up all your important files! Works great on MAC and PC, just be careful with formatting. If you format it to NTFS and use a Mac, you need to add "NTFS for Mac" to your computer to write to it.

A backup sometimes stops midway and needs to be redone, and on an office computer, a new hard drive is sometimes not recognized and the computer has to be restarted. Still, it's great to be able to safely carry sensitive files in and out of the office - and even on vacation.

I can think of 200 million reasons why I know encryption works. :) I really hope this guy can get his 200 million bitcoins from his IronKey.

In both operating systems the hard disk is not mounted. When plugged in, the red light comes on, the yellow light comes on, the drive clicks, then the yellow light goes off and it just sits there. I wrote to Imation Mobile Security Technical Support and said the following: We are currently testing MAC Yosemite…
