The SecureDrive will work on any host operating system (Microsoft Windows, MacOS, iOS, Linux, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients, Android, and Embedded systems)

Pre-loaded one year license for the USB anti-virus by ESET real-time heuristic scanning

The USB controller will be unlocked to initiate communication between the drive and host OS when the user enters the correct PIN via the on-board keypad

Hardware encryption eliminates loss in data read/write speeds

The data encryption process consists of 14 different rounds of encryption to make your original data unrecognizable to an unauthorized user

SecureDrive encryption for data at rest is implemented using the XTS block cipher mode since it circumvents multiple weaknesses of the older AES modes, such as CBC and ECB

USB 3.0 uses two unidirectional data paths, one to receive data and the other to transmit

The USB SuperSpeed bus provides a transfer mode at a nominal rate of 5.0 Gb/s while being backwards compatible with USB 2.0 for older hardware

Brute force anti-hacking detection is triggered by entering an incorrect password ten consecutive times

BadUSB protection

Setting up an admin PIN will allow the administrator to regain access to the data if the user is no longer available

Optional read-only mode prevents writing, deleting, saving, or editing any files to the device until read/write is enabled

You can save boot files and drivers required to load a PC, laptop, or workstation on a SecureDrive and it will keep your system image fully encrypted until you're ready to load the machine

The drive can be set to automatically lock after a pre-set amount of time of inactivity to protect against unauthorized access when the drive is connected to a host computer and unattended
