Product Description

Ultra-Secure, Portable Encrypted SSD

The BUSlink 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. Designed for government agencies, healthcare providers, legal professionals, educational institutions, and enterprises, this drive secures sensitive information without impacting system performance or requiring software installation.

Mode 1 Physical Key Authentication

Using CipherShield’s Mode 1 physical key system, access to encrypted data requires the use of a unique CipherKey. Once authenticated, the key can be removed while the drive remains powered on—perfect for controlled local environments where manual key insertion is feasible. This eliminates passwords and PINs, effectively defending against malware, ransomware, Trojans, and OS-level attacks.

Regulatory Compliance & Certified Protection

Engineered to meet strict data protection requirements, the CipherShield SSD complies with FIPS 140-2, HIPAA, HITECH, FERPA, and TAA standards. This ensures suitability for handling, storing, and transporting regulated or classified data in compliance-bound industries.

High-Speed & Versatile Connectivity

Equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) interface, the drive offers fast data transfer rates and backward compatibility with older USB standards. SSD technology provides faster read/write performance, shock resistance, and silent operation compared to traditional HDDs, ensuring reliability in both desktop and mobile applications.

Slim, Rugged Design for On-the-Go Security

Built with a slim and sturdy casing, the CipherShield SSD combines portability with professional durability and efficient heat dissipation. Ideal for mobile professionals, field agents, and secure travel, it’s designed for reliability wherever your data needs to go.
