Thread: Digittrade RFID Security Disk

The external 2.5-inch hard disk of Digittrade prevents unwanted access to the drive content by RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The blocking occurs when the device from the PC is disconnected. Can access only that, the appropriate RFID has the key. According to the provider he is with the internal hard drive connected - a breaking of the housing thus nothing helps to get to the data. The user holds the key to the plate. A beep signals the unlock, the built-in LED will change simultaneously from red to green.



The data is transmitted via mini-USB and Y-cable, the USB ports on a PC requires two. 33.2 MB / s reached the unit in reading an ordinary maximum. The same applies to the maximum transfer rate of 31.03 MB / s in writing. As the average access time reached the record 12.49 milliseconds - a 2.5-inch drives quite good value.

The drive has a switch - that is commendable and rare in this format. In idle mode, it drew 2.0 watts - a lot. But the 2.8 watts in operation are relatively inconspicuous. For the measurements, the device achieved with 20.1 dB (A) or 0.2 Sone in idle mode and 22.6 dB (A) respectively, 0.3 Sone under load a bit more elevated levels, but they are in practice hardly perceptible . A drive that brings the lush security mechanisms. Given this and the regular USB power values for the 37 cents per GB are justifiable. There is no blanket protection it never. Care with their own data is also necessary.
