Protecting your data is important. Nowadays, people digitally store personal, sensitive data like tax forms, family pictures and more. Without encryption this data is vulnerable and could be stolen. Most encryption for files of this nature is software only and is generally done on a file to file basis. Hardware encryption devices are now becoming more common, allowing the entire drive to be encryption through the hardware, not software. Secure Data provides hardware encrypted portable storage drives and in today's post we will check out their SecureUSB BT.
A Message From Our Sponsor:
The idea of encrypted media storage is not new. Ubuntu has been using an optional encrypted journal for a long while now. This type of drive encryption is based upon software only, while having hardware encryption improves security and is harder to hack into.
So, we started by testing the SecureUSB BT using Blackmagic's Disk Test. The drive tested with speeds of 61 MB/s and 150 MB/s. This means that the drive is fast enough to run a VM off of it, and thus you get some interesting use cases like a secured operating system that may host sensitive data like taxes and family pictures.
We were really impressed with the quality of the drive, especially considering the built-in hardware encryption. We recommend this drive if you need to securely store data. The SecureData SecureDrive is also a good storage medium to store hardware encrypted system back-ups.
