Overview
An onboard touchscreen with a randomizing keypad unlocks this DataLocker drive, and AES encryption runs in the hardware so it works on any operating system. It carries FIPS validation and TAA compliance.
Organizations with strict data rules get validated encryption and optional remote management. Remote lock, erase and audit need a SafeConsole license sold separately, and the drive is a spinning disk.
Who it's for
Agencies, contractors and healthcare teams moving sensitive files will meet compliance requirements. Personal backup users can choose simpler, faster drives.
Pros and cons
- Hardware AES 256-bit encryption
- Touchscreen with randomizing keypad
- FIPS and TAA compliance
- USB-C and USB-A cables
- SafeConsole license sold separately
- Spinning disk, not SSD
- Read speed listing looks unrealistic
Performance notes
Security comes from encryption in the drive hardware, so the host computer never handles keys. The randomizing keypad defeats smudge pattern guessing. Transfer speed is limited by the mechanical disk inside.
