Standard file operations (copy, move, open) are supported once the drive is unlocked. For optimal transfer speed, connect to a USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 port.
Usage recommendations
Set a strong unique password and, where available, register the device in your organisation’s remote management solution to enforce policy, rotate keys and perform secure audits. Regularly back up critical data to additional secure media and apply firmware updates via official sources. Avoid exposing the drive to extreme physical shock despite its rugged housing and store it in a controlled environment when not in use.
