Rugged aluminum construction • Direct SATA bridge • Support SATA hard drive
Compact size • Optional Hardware encryption
The Diamond Cipher Combo Hard Drive Kit features the new generation of eSATA hard drive enclosures with the 256-bit AES hard encryption to ensure absolute data security should the drive get stolen or lost. The crypto engine inside the Diamond Cipher enclosure handles all the encryption and decryption on the fly with no detectable performance degradation on data transfer. Using native eSATA interface, the Diamond Cipher Combo Hard Drive supports the highest performance possible today through an externally connected hard drive enclosure.
The Diamond Combo Hard Drive kit is probably the most versatile storage solution in the market. This kit comes with all the necessary component to allow any 3.5" SATA hard drive to be used as a drive cartridge and as an external high performance eSATA hard drive. Constructed in heavy gauge aluminum with precision finish for smooth operation, the Diamond Cipher drive kit is built to last while at the same time providing excellent heat dissipation for the hard drive. Comes built in with the Addonics SATA direct bridge interface, the Diamond Cipher drive enclosure allows the SATA hard drive to appear as a direct connection to the host both in eSATA mode or SATA mode while at the same time isolates the SATA hard drive power and data connectors from the wears and tears incurred in some of the removable SATA hard drive system. 2.5" SATA hard drive can also be installed into the Diamond Cipher drive enclosure using the optional 2.5" hard drive mounting bracket.
When used as a drive cartridge, the hard drive can be swapped in and out of your computer without restarting
your system. Instead of a slow tape cartridge, you enjoy the fast performance
of the SATA hard drive.Once the OS detects the presence of the Diamond Cipher drive enclosure (cartridge), it appears as an additional hard drive to the system. There is no driver to install or special software required to do data backup or restoration. Data is stored uncompressed in its own native file format and can be accessed readily by any application program. When used as external hard drive via eSATA connection to a computer, the hard drive performs at the full speed and can achieve data transfer up to 3 times the speed of the standard USB or Firewire interfaces.
High performance - Data is encrypted
and decrypted on the fly by a certified cryptographic engine
inside an ASIC without taking any CPU resources
Encryption / Decryption via a hardware
key , just like using a regular key to open a door.
To enable the encryption and access the drive, simply insert the Cipher key into the keyhole of the Diamond Cipher enclosure prior to turn on the power.
Simple to deploy with no training required,
no software to install and no password to remember
Platform independency - There is no software or driver to
install to use Addonics encryption products. As a result,
it can be deployed in any systems running any OS. This is
important in organization with multi platform computing and
legacy systems.
Drive enclosures features
eSATA connector built-in for external eSATA connection
There is no back door for
the Diamond Cipher encrypted hard drive if the key is lost or stolen. To ensure there is a spare key, every Diamond Cipher bundled kit
comes with one pair of Addonics Cipher keys. If you are ordering the
Diamond Cipher enclosure only the first time, we recommend that you
order at least 2 keys. One of these keys should be kept in a safe
and secure location and can be sent back to Addonics for duplicating
additional keys. If you are down to the last key, be sure to make
a back up of all the data stored inside your encrypted hard drive
prior to sending the last key to Addonics. Addonics is not responsible
for key lost in the mail or retrieval of the data inside the encrypted
hard drive.
For organization with large deployment, you may consider
managing your own keys by investing into a Addonics Cipher key duplicating
system.
