Encased in sleek aluminium enclosures, the Executive Fingerprint Secure HDD in 1TB and 2TB capacities and Executive Fingerprint Secure SSD in 512MB and 1TB use a combination of AES 256-bit hardware encryption and fingerprint recognition technology to encrypt all data on the drive in real-time. With 100% of the drive securely encrypted, all the content is safe from unauthorised access if the drives are ever lost or stolen.

Fast access and easy to use
The built-in fingerprint recognition system allows access for up to 8 authorised users and one administrator. Once set up, users can lock and unlock the device ins by just using their registered fingerprint. The SSD or HDD does not store passwords in the computer or system’s volatile memory making it more secure than software encryption.

After setting up the fingerprints using the software provided, the company’s Fingerprint Secure Drives can be used on both PC and Mac OSs. The drives have a USB 3.2 GEN 1 interface with USB-C connection for fast data transfer speeds of up to 5Gb/s and the packs includes a USB-C to USB-A cable as well as a USB-C adapter for connection to a range of devices. They can also be connected to TVs once a fingerprint is registered; a feature which is not possible with regular encrypted drives.

Nero Backup software for Windows is provided to help users backup all files, folders, and drives from laptops or PCs as well as schedule auto backup to a set time and day to ensure that it gets done regularly.
