This super-secure external portable hard drive offers government-grade data protection and blazing write speeds.
The mobile professional who frequently totes sensitive information on external hard drives needs the utmost in protection, and Maxtor delivers just that with its latest storage solution, aptly named BlackArmor. The compact portable hard drive serves up protection that business travelers desire: government-grade, 128-bit AES hard drive–based encryption that’s certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It prevents anyone from accessing the drive—even data-recovery experts. Design Measuring 5.2 x 3.3 x 0.7 inches and weighing 6.4 ounces, the Maxtor BlackArmor slides easily into a jacket or pants pocket without weighing it down. Despite being designed for the business set, the external HDD has a simple, stylish aesthetic: a brushed-metal finish with silver-gray highlights on the left and right sides. It looks sharp enough to impress onlookers in the boardroom without being garish.
