Product details

The write protection switch at the back of the case is a new feature and protects against accidental deletion of data. It works similar to the write-protect switch of an SD card.
A further essential advantage of such write protection is that the contents on the drives secured in this way can no longer be manipulated by software security gaps. The user has complete control over when certain data can be modified by the host computer. With the IB-256WP, you no longer have to worry about the security of your protected data.

Dafür ist es das einzige in diesem Vergleich, das auch eine Festplatte aufnimmt. Die darf sogar bis zu 15 Millimeter hoch sein, damit lassen sich also Festplatten bis 5 TByte einbauen...
