SecureDrive BT 500GB hardware-encrypted SSD

This FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated drive provides 500GB of portable storage protected by 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption. It is built for professionals and organisations that must keep sensitive data secure while working across multiple devices and locations.

Wireless unlock and built-in antivirus

The DataLock app on a smartphone, tablet or Apple Watch authenticates the user with a 7-15 digit alphanumeric PIN or biometric factor, removing the need for a physical keypad. An independent crypto processor and epoxy-coated electronics add brute-force anti-hacking protection and on-device malware scanning without host software.

SATA interface limits peak throughput

The internal SATA connection caps maximum transfer rates well below what USB 3.0 can carry, so large sequential workloads will not saturate the bus. Buyers needing the highest possible external SSD speeds should consider drives based on faster internal interfaces.

Questions about this item

Does the epoxy-covered controller or the SATA interface need any firmware updates or servicing later?

The drive uses a self-contained hardware encryption processor and a SATA interface; no user-serviceable parts or firmware update routine are described.

What stops me from writing continuously until the drive throttles?

Sustained throughput is limited by the SATA 3.0 interface and the onboard encryption processor rather than thermal headroom.

How much heat or fan noise should I expect when the 500GB SSD runs all day?

The sealed epoxy design has no moving parts or fan, so it runs silently and stays cool under normal workloads.
