Cyber security has become a top priority for a rising number of consumers, which is seeing equipment manufacturers create devices like the DataLocker Sentry K300 Encrypted Micro SSD with this in mind.
Offering consumers access to military-grade security, the drive offers 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption in XTS mode and works to keep your encryption keys local rather than relaying them to the host PC. This eliminates the chance of malware attacks or cold-boot accessing to keep your data incredibly safe.
The DataLocker Sentry K300 Encrypted Micro SSD boasts an OLED display, a keypad and platform independent functionality that makes it the first on the market with such protective features. The drive is set to launch sometime before the end of 2018.
