The silver 1TB Commanderx EC31 USB 3.1 Solid State Drive from Rocstor connects to a notebook or desktop via an included USB 3.1 cable to deliver up to 1TB of storage capacity for your Windows and Mac systems. To prevent unwanted access of sensitive files, Rocstor has equipped the EC31 with a hardware encryption module that safeguards the data in real-time. Accessing the protected data requires the use of one of the three included key tokens. In addition, due to the heat dissipating automatically through the enclosure, there is no fan installed, which makes the device virtually silent while it is operating.
