Product Description

Ultra-Secure, Portable Encrypted SSD
The CipherShield Mode 1 Key Encrypted External SSD Slim Drive delivers 256-bit AES real-time hardware encryption for uncompromising data protection in a lightweight, portable form factor. Built for government agencies, healthcare providers, legal professionals, educational institutions, and enterprises, it safeguards sensitive information without impacting system performance.

Mode 1 Physical Key Authentication
Uses CipherShield’s Mode 1 security system, requiring a physical CipherKey for access. Once authenticated, the key can be removed while powered on for safekeeping—ideal for secure local environments where manual key insertion is practical. Eliminates the need for passwords or PINs while defending against malware, ransomware, Trojans, and OS-level attacks.

Regulatory Compliance & Certified Protection
Meets FIPS 140-2, HIPAA, HITECH, FERPA, and TAA standards, making it suitable for handling and transporting regulated data under strict compliance requirements.

High-Speed & Versatile Connectivity
Equipped with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and eSATA interfaces for fast transfer speeds and broad compatibility with modern and legacy systems. SSD technology ensures faster read/write speeds, silent operation, and shock resistance compared to traditional hard drives.

Slim, Rugged Design for On-the-Go Security
Lightweight yet durable casing provides excellent portability while maintaining professional-grade durability and heat dissipation. Ideal for mobile professionals, fieldwork, and secure travel.
