Frequently Asked Questions
What encryption standard does the DL450 FE use?
The DataLocker DL450 FE employs AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the same military-grade standard used by government agencies and enterprises for protecting classified and sensitive data. This hardware-based encryption ensures data remains secure even if the drive is lost or stolen.
Is the DL450 FE FIPS 140-3 certified?
The DL450 FE is pursuing FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, which validates compliance with federal standards for cryptographic modules. This certification is essential for organizations handling government contracts, healthcare records, and regulated financial data.
What capacities are available for encrypted hard drives like the DL450 FE?
The DataLocker DL450 FE platform offers multiple capacity configurations in both SSD and HDD formats. The 4TB SSD model (part number DL450-SSD-4TB-FE) provides high-speed performance for mission-critical portable data protection applications.
Why choose hardware encryption over software encryption?
Hardware encryption on the DL450 FE provides superior security because the encryption engine operates independently of the host system, protecting data even before the operating system loads. This approach eliminates software vulnerabilities and ensures consistent, tamper-resistant protection for sensitive portable storage.
