As an information security practitioner, this external hard drive is definitely secure!20 bad pin tries = data wipedReset the drive = data wipedUnplug and replug = enter the pinNo interaction with the drive for more than 3-5 minutes = enter the pinIf you want to keep your files secure - this type of device, and specifically this device - then very it.Good qualityEasy to useSeems durableGreat price

After a few months, I now have to back up what the negative reviews are saying: This drive won't unlock. After multiple times entering the CORRECT code, it just acts like it was incorrect. It may unlock if I wait a day...or maybe not. I've had to move all the data off this drive because I never know when it'll totally lock me out. Avoid this thing and save you money. I suspect the positive reviews here were written in the first weeks of owning this drive. Mine worked great for a while too. Just wait.

Needed an reasonably priced drive to send sensitive data, easy to use and setup, worked great

Not recommended. The encryption mechanism works as advertised once you understand that the decryption code has to be input slowly (inputting the code too quickly apparently is not allowed by the security mechanism). I also have no problem with the drive's read/write time or data throughput speed. However, the build quality of the Micro-B USB connector port is unacceptable. After less than a year of light-duty use, the drive began to immediately disconnect any time that it was moved even a few inches. After 10 months of use the drive would begin to spontaneously disconnect during read/write operations, even when the drive and cable are completely stationary. This is unacceptable. If they put decent port hardware on this device, I would have no complaints.

I have a problem with the device. setup was easy.. However, when I am actively using the device it automatically locks and disconnects after 5mins. I have worked with Fantom Drives support without any solution offered. I explained what was happening and they stated it was a good device. I want something that when I open a document from the drive and i am actively working in the document that is doesn't automatically lock me out and i loose all my changes or have to save it elsewhere?? I would expect it to stay open and active till I am not using the device for a period of time and then automatically lock. They said that even the timeout could not be changed since it is built in.. waste of money if you want to actually work on the drive. I guess if you are using it as a backup device it might work for you :{

This thing is amazing and easy to use! I can plug it right into my Blue ray player and play movies right off of it! I could not do that with my odd hard drive but this solid state works excellent!

Great deal!!!

Awful. Awful product and horrible Amazon run around to return.First Amazon- Puhlease you wont let me just send this pile of junk back without a 15 minute interview? It is bad enough this product ruined a week of my work.Product- Listen Hard- do not buy this product. Like others I put the code in, transferred 200 gb worth of work to it and it would not ever allow me to reinput the code. If I didn't have a back up it would be lawsuit time.

Frustrating to try setting this up with my new laptop running windows 11. Even though the company says it is compatible.
