You don't have to worry about the Portable SSD T5 anymore. The drive has no moving parts and the rugged all-metal case is made of aluminum, so it can withstand falls from heights of up to two meters. The optional password function secures access to the drive so that personal and confidential data is protected ? this is possible through hardware-based encryption according to the AES standard with 256-bit keys.
management software
The Portable SSD T5 is equipped with a new, intuitive software solution for PCs and Macs (from Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.9). This allows a comfortable password management as well as the update of the drive firmware. For Android smartphones and tablets, there is also a mobile app (from Android 4.4 (KitKat)) that provides similar functionality.
