Those who deal with the digital sector today know how important it is to have available space to save your files and projects. I am reminded of programmers, who have to save proprietary lines of code and their dependencies, as well as photographers who - with the now gold standard of 4K HDR resolution for photos and videos - are forced to buy fast solutions for the data storage that can also be used in mobility sectors.
This does not mean that even the university student needs space to save his notes and pdf of the lessons and so on.
Regardless of the scope for which they are stored, data saved on external media they must not be lost or exploited by third parties. Imagine if the FIFA22 source code had been "forgotten" in an SSD on the seat of a Taxi ...
To avoid such a situation Verbatim introduced his new ones HDD ed SSD Executive Fingerprint Secure, which use a combination of hardware encryption AES a 256 bit and a system of biometric recognition to ensure maximum security of the information contained therein.
SSDs in detail
Let's rattle off some data a little more technical:

High level encryption but easy to use
Unity is 100% encrypted securely and therefore compliant with the GDPR requirements; 256-bit AES encryption also encodes in real time all data on disk. Up to 8 authorized users can be accessed via biometric fingerprint scanning, plus an administrator who can access the device via password. Furthermore, the disk does not keep the authorization keys in the computer or in the system RAM making its violation even more difficult.
A convenient LED indicator allows you to know the locking / unlocking status of Executive Fingerprint Secure: once you place your finger on the fingerprint reader, the LED will turn Green if it has recognized the biometric input, allowing free access to reading and writing files.
Like all devices "premium”That are respected, it can be used on both Windows and Mac operating systems via an interface USB 3.2 GEN 1 with USB-C connection.
For added protection, software is provided Nero Backup - unfortunately only available for Windows systems - to back up all files, folders and PC drives at any time, even on a scheduled basis.
The new Verbatim external storage devices are already available for purchase in both HDD and SSD versions in two different memory sizes:
- Executive Fingerprint Secure HDD da 1 TB e 2 TB
- Executive Fingerprint Secure SSD da 512 Mb ed 1 TB
Retail prices vary, as usual, based on the e-commerce you rely on and range from € 115 starting for the 1 TB HDD version and € 195 for the 1 TB SSD version.
Are you tempted to buy? What kind of solution do you rely on for saving important data?
