Buslink CipherShield Dual Key AES 512-bit Encrypted External Hard 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 two unique Cipher Keys.

It is like getting a safe deposit box that takes two keys to open. This dual key encrypted hard drive 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. USB 3.0 and eSATA interface allow user to transfer gigabytes of data quickly - up to 5 Gbps of data transfer rate.
