Buslink Media 8TB CipherShield USB 3.2 eSATA FIPS 140-2 Level 2 HIPAA Dual Keys 512-bit RAID 0 Solid State Storage

The 8TB CipherShield USB 3.2 Gen 2/eSATA 6Gb/s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 HIPAA Dual Keys 512-bit AES Hardware Encrypted RAID 0 Desktop Solid State Storage takes advantage of fast solid state drive speeds and high-end connectvity . You can now transfer files at twice the speed of the previous generation of USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1). Faster transfer speeds save you time and money and make it painless to transfer large files. It also provides RAID 0 striping with 2x 2.5? for larger capacity with lighter weight and lower power consumption than 3.5? base RAID storage. It is possible to use power from the USB port without using the power adapter and using metal alloy case, heat is easily dissipated and with less plastic used, more recyclable and eco-friendly too.

CipherShield dual keys safeguards and protects classified information when they are too important to be left in the hand of one individual. To gain access to the drive, authentication will be based on two unique Cipherkeys. It requires both keys to be plugged in all the time while working with the drive. It is like getting a safe deposit box that takes two keys to open. It is suitable for group setting where more than one individual are working on highly confidential projects. i.e. blueprints for company's next new products, top secret programs, highly confidential legal cases, sensitive customer records and financial information.

The CipherShield design features a chip embedded in the access key which matches the AES encryption module on the controller board. The drive will automatically lock down its content once the key is unplugged, or power is shut off. And without the access key, data will not be seen or accessed in the event of theft or loss of the external drive. Data stored on the hard drive are safeguarded by hardware-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified industrial strength AES (Advanced Encryption standard) cryptographic engine. The advantage of hardware encryption over software encryption is that you need not be concerned about Trojans/viruses or software upgrades, which results in a decrease of total cost of ownership. You do not need to remember complicated passwords or PINs. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system; removing the drive and connecting it directly to the SATA BUS will not defeat the encryption. The unit is bundled with four keys and registration is required for key duplication.
