Utilizing Intel SSD inside, BUSlink CipherShield USB 3.0 Encrypted Solid State Drive (SSD) is designed to provide an outstanding storage performance, super fast data transfer of up to 5 Gbps, and the same high level of superior data encryption offered by the popular BUSlink CipherShield Hard Drive series. Since Solid State Drive does not have any moving mechanical parts unlike the magnetic platters and drive heads used in traditional hard drives, it results in an increased durability, faster data access, and minimal power usage. This BUSlink CipherShield encrypted hard drive prevents unauthorized access to your digital data, using the latest cryptography algorithm software to protect sensitive files. A removable CipherKey protects your data when removed, making all the data stored completely unreadable, as the drive itself becomes transparent and is completely invisible to the operating system. Plug the CipherKey in, the drive is once again visible and files immediately decrypted and accessible.
