Introduction
The S2510BU3PW 2.5” USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure with Touchpad AES Encryption
turns almost any 2.5” SATA hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) into an AES
encrypted external storage device. Large capacity drives (tested with up to 1TB) can be
used to greatly enhance your computer’s storage/backup capabilities.
Using a 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm, all the data on the
hard drive is securely protected from unauthorized users. Encryption is performed
completely in hardware and real-time, ensuring that no performance is lost and
that no software installation is required. Access to the encrypted content is allowed
through the built-in touchscreen keypad, so any system that supports a USB storage
device can access the data.

It is recommended that the enclosure act as a backup to important files, and not as
additional storage (unless also regularly backed up), as lost passwords or hardware
failure (SATA drive or enclosure) will result in the stored data being unrecoverable.
