Buslink Media introduces Disk-On-The-Go Hard Drive So Compact it will fit in a shirt pocket and weight only One half Pound. This 2.5 inch Hard drive is also Shock resistant. Buslink Hard drive is shipped Pre- formatted and 100% quality tested. Disk-On-The-Go Hard Drive is ideal for the back up and add on use able storage. Great for the Notebooks and desktop Computer too.

Buslink CipherShield 500GB External Hard Drive is housed in a stackable metal alloy case which dissipates heat and are pre-formatted for 100% quality control and convenience to the user. It requires Key to be plugged in to access drive. It is NIST Certified AES hardware encryption Algorithm, faster, easer to use, and more secure than software encryption.

CipherShield drive 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 one unique Cipherkey. It requires one key to be plugged in all the time while working with the drive. It is like getting a safe deposit box that takes one key 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.

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. 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. Unit is bundled with two keys and registration is required for key duplication.

Feature

• NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliant AES hardware encryption with 256-bit encryption

• USB 3.0 SuperSpeed port
• Compatible to USB 2.0 port but will run at USB 2.0 transfer speed
• Mac OS X 10.4 or later
• Microsoft Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP
• Windows Server 2019, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2003. Does not work with 2000 Server
• Linux
• Larger than 2TB requires GPT support; does not support Windows XP

USB 3.0
With today's ever increasing demand for bigger data storage space, there is also a need to achieve a faster and higher speed in data delivery. BUSlink SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is a major step forward to the faster and more efficient data transfer interface. With transfer rate up to 4.8 Gbits/s, USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than the ubiquitous USB 2.0 that has transfer rate of 480Mbits/s.

BUSlink USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hard drives are backward compatible with USB 2.0. Higher speed and better power management makes USB 3.0 ideal for transporting terabytes of information and videos-related files. However, in order to achieve a USB 3.0 speed and take advantage of its features, a USB 3.0 cable is needed to connect to USB 3.0 port with USB 3.0 controller.

CipherShield Hard Drive
BUSlink CipherShield encrypted hard drive prevents unauthorized access to your digital data. Using the latest cryptography algorithm software to protect sensitive file is nothing new. However, loading that same encryption into a removable CipherKey - that when removed not only makes all the data stored completely unreadable, but 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. Now that's new. The fact that this drive is portable, can plug into any USB port and immediately accessible on any operating system, is just icing on the cake.

CipherShield design features a chip embedded in an access key which matches the chip on the motherboard. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system, removing the drive and connecting it directly to the IDE bus will not defeat the encryption. It also requires the key to be plugged in in order to access the drive.
