In today's world, the security of your confidential data is of the utmost importance. Imagine losing your personal files or highly confidential information from work and knowing that anyone can access the data because it was saved on a standard unencrypted storage device. To prevent this from happening, Verbatim has launched two military-grade hardware encrypted storage devices – the Store‘n’Go Secure Portable HDD (1TB) and the Store‘n’Go Secure Portable SSD (256GB).

  • Versatile, portable and built to go anywhere-seamlessly encrypts 100% of your data on-the-fly and keeps your data safe
  • Military Grade AES 256-bit Hardware Encryption
  • Built in keypad for PIN input
  • USB-C™ superfast connection
  • Erases data after multiple failed entry attempts
  • Can be used with TV’s, a feature that is not possible with regular encrypted drives
  • Compatible with a wide range of devices
  • Includes Nero Backup software

Using AES 256-bit hardware encryption, the Verbatim drives mandatorily encrypt all the files loaded onto the drives in real time. With a built-in keypad for PIN code input, the drives do not store passcodes in the system's volatile memory making them far more secure than drives using software encryption.

The keypad system is easy to use. A PIN code of up to 12 digits long is entered and this enables the user to “unlock” the drive and access the disk’s contents. When connected to a computer or other device, LED lights on the keypad show the current status; red when locked, green when unlocked, and amber for admin mode. For added security, the hard drive will lock and require re-formatting after 20 failed password attempts. The keypad entry system also allows the drives to be connected to TVs and set-top boxes that have the facility of supporting external drives, a feature which is not possible with regular software encrypted hard drives.
