Data storage is an essential daily element and one device that most people still make use of is the USB or Flash Drive. It’s small, it’s convenient and it allows users to save data conveniently and on the fly, be it personal information, work related or any other data that that needs to be stored, easily transported and accessed.
However, the one concern with USB storage is the security of your data. Worry no more with the Verbatim Secure ‘n’ Go Secure Data USB with hardware encryption available from distributor Drive Control Corporation (DCC).
“USB drives feature a significantly small form factor which delivers convenience, allowing you to carry the device in your pocket, handbag or laptop bag. However, users often lose these devices and the security of their data saved to the device is often an afterthought.
“Verbatim’s Secure ‘n’ Go will ensure that all data is encrypted so that should your drive be lost or stolen, your information is safe and secure,” says Ruben Naicker, Verbatim product specialist at DCC.
Available in eight and 16 Gigabytes (GB), the Verbatim Secure ‘n’ Go delivers 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hardware security encryption as well as integrated password protection.
This means that your data is always encrypted and password protected, should the device be lost or stolen, providing you with the assurance that your data cannot be accessed and all your documents, photos and other content remain safe.
The USB features a password entry prompt when inserted into a desktop or notebook so access can only be granted to the files and documents on the USB when the correct password is inserted. Further bolstering security, the password hashing algorithm and hack-resistant password entry securely erases all data after 20 failed access attempts.
The Verbatim Secure ‘n’ Go features read speeds of up to 14Mbps and write speeds of up to 8Mbps, further ensuring maximum performance. Certified for Windows 7, Windows 8, Vista and XP and featuring a USB2.0 interface, the USB can be used on nearly any laptop or notebook available on the market.
“Data security is priority and with the Verbatim Secure ‘n’ Go users can rest assured that their data is safe should the device be lost or stolen,” concludes Naicker.
The Verbatim Secure ‘n’ Go Secure Data USB Drive is available immediately from DCC and selected resellers at a recommended retail price of R214.00 for the 8GB and R367.00 for the 16Gb. All prices are inclusive of VAT.
