Data Locker DL3 USB 3.0 Encrypted Portable HDD/SSD

Data Locker Inc. announced the Data Locker DL3, encrypted USB 3.0 portable hard drive at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Data Locker DL3 is billed as a secure portable hard drive due to its 256 bit AES XTS mode full drive encryption, two factor authentication and patented touch screen authentication panel.

The Data Locker DL3 builds on the Data Locker’s previous personal secured storage devices that feature an enhanced touch screen, secure external USB hard drive with PIN-only access. The encryption and data management is performed at the device level and is completely platform and operating system independent, eliminating the need for any software and drivers.

"We’ve had considerable success with our Data Locker secure portable hard drives with the federal government and in business environments that require an easy to use and implement portable data security solution which is compatible with all operating systems and environments," said Jay Kim, Founder and COO, Data Locker. "By launching the DL3 at CES, we believe there are a significant number of customers who can appreciate the amazing simplicity of our approach to securing their portable data."
