The Ruby Cipher Combo Hard Drive (RCCHD) 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 Ruby Cipher enclosure handles all the encryption and decryption on the fly with no detectable performance degradation on data transfer. Using native eSATA interface, the RCCHD supports the highest performance possible today through an externally connected hard drive enclosure.
The RCCHD is probably the most versatile storage solution in the market. This kit comes with all the necessary component to allow any 2.5" 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 RCCHD 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 Ruby 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 isolating the SATA hard drive power and data connectors from the wears and tears incurred in some of the removable SATA hard drive system. The shock absorption technology in the drive enclosure together with a rugged annodized housing also provides strong protection to the hard drive against drop and vibration.
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 Ruby 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 an 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 Ruby Cipher enclosure prior to turning 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 Enclosure features
Stylish and rugged black anodized aluminum
Compact size - fits inside a pocket
Light weight
Shock proof - up to 3 feet drop damage protection for the hard drive
Compatible with any 2.5" SATA 1.5Gbps or SATA 3.0Gbps hard drive with height of 10 mm or less
, just like using a regular key to open a door.
