The Padlock DT FIPS provides the highest level of confidence that large volumes of secure data stay secure,” said Kurt Markley, director, sales. “Adding an effective and economical 18TB drive to our product set is just one of dozens of innovations we have made over our 37-year history of creating industry-leading hardware.“
