Keep your data safe at all times with the Rocstor 2TB Rocsecure EX32 USB 3.1 Encrypted SSDfrom Rocstor, which uses AES 256-bit real-time hardware encryption, as well as FIPS 140 Level 2 and NIST SP800-171 certification. It also meets strict Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance. The EX32's cryptographic processor performs full-disk encryption, protecting your entire data at rest. The full-disk encryption (FDE) solution is OS independent, with no extra software or driver components needed. The EX32 connects to your host system using a USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port. Included in the package are three standard token keys that plug into a mini-USB port, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a carrying case.

The Rocstor EX32 encryption technology is engineered to encrypt/decrypt the entire drive, including the boot sector, temporary files, and operating system with SATA III speeds at 6Gb/s. Rocstor's technology has enhanced security, performance, and speed with FIPS 140-2 level 2 cryptographic processor certification. The EX32 encryption engine is NIST certified and requires a secure token key for the authentication method.

The Rocsecure EX32 takes advantage of USB 3.1 Gen 1 throughput speeds. Connect the EX32 encrypted drive to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 (or higher) port of a host computer and then take advantage of encrypted data transfer speeds of up to 450 Mb/s, making this drive fast and secure.

One of the most secure hardware-based encryption chipsets is integrated into the internal circuitry of Rocsecure EX32 models. The chipset contains features such as Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm AES-256 bit key strength, and real-time encryption so that there is virtually zero time in encrypting and decrypting the data. The encryption engine bears certifications from the National Institute of Standards and Technology SP800-171 (NIST) and FIPS Level 2 for a Cryptographic Module.

The Rocstor Rocsecure EX32 CryptoKey tokens are a safe and secure authentication method. A Rocstor Secure CryptoKey Token Key is required to be inserted for authentication before the host computer can mount the drive. Once the EX32 is connected and the authentication is validated, the token key must be removed before the EX32 volume is mounted or displayed.

The ruggedized, portable enclosure with an aluminum design helps to protect your hard drive and data. The safety-centric mechanical design of Rocsecure EX32 series 2.5" enclosures provides critical hardware protection features. The bus-power feature offers the user added convenience by eliminating the need to carry nonstandard and sometimes hefty adapters and cables that are normally required to power typical hard drives.

The full-length bridgeboard provides additional protection by supporting the entire length of the drive. A strong aluminum rim holds the drive chassis firmly in place, eliminating stress on the bridgeboard and preventing damage due to impact or violent movement.

The shock-absorbent dampers strip between the bridgeboard and chassis offers additional resistance against accidental drops and bumps. The disposition of the hard drive and housing profile form an anti-shock chamber to cushion the blow of potential impacts.

The precision density of the rugged aluminum aircraft-grade border provides excellent heat dissipation and is strong enough to bear external weight.

Rocstor HXA Injection Molded Mil-Standard Waterproof Cases are molded using high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin, featuring a gasketed, water- and dust-tight, submersible design (MIL-C-4150J) that is resistant to corrosion and impact damage. It also features a molded-in hinge, patented trigger release latch system, snap-down rubber over-molded cushion grip handle, automatic ambient pressure equalization valve (MIL-STD-648C), and resistance to UV, solvents, corrosion, fungus, and impact damage (MIL-STD-810F).

A: Yes this can be formatted to support Linux formats.

Q: 3. Why is SILVER color cheaper than the other colors?

A: There is no difference between the silver and the black and the grey, just colour. When I bought the 2TB GLYPH ATOM RAID SSD, I got a black and a silver just so we could differentiate and they are both identical the best external drives I have ever laid my hand on. It saves me so much crucial time on shows copying content. Love love love these drives.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with Windows 10/11? Does it require formatting?

A: Out of the box, the LaCie 2TB Portable USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD v2 comes formatted in ExFAT and is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 without needing to be reformatted.

Q: 5. Where is the new 1TB v2 drive primarily manufactured and/or assembled? Thank you

A: COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: CHINA

Q: 6. Can this be configured into RAID 1 for redundancy?

A: No. It is Raid 0 only.

Q: 7. Dumb question, but 4TB RAID is effectively 2TBs of usable storage?

A: This will use all storage and be 4TB as this is RAID 0.

Q: 8. Will this work with a Blackmagic Design PCC 6K camcorder? I don’t know if its RAID 0 nature prohibits its being recognized by the camera.

A: The RAID 0 nature only hides the mirrored volume. The host volume is fully visible to any devices capable of mounting a volume.

Q: 9. Can you password protect this 1TB LaCie SDD (or any other LaCie SDDs)?

A: The LaCie 1TB Portable USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD v2 can not be password protected. The LaCie 1TB Rugged USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD BH #LASTHR100080 has hardware Seagate Secure self-encrypting technology and a password system.

Q: 10. We just purchased 2 of the original version of the 2TB SSD - and I was considering buying a 3rd tonight when I saw that it had been discontinued - and apparently replaced by this version 2 - other than cosmetics, what dirrerences are there between the two versions. I have already loaded about one TB into the first unit and it appears to be functioning very well indeed?

A: V2 is faster and smaller than the older version.
