Coming to Mission Impossible 97 soon ;)
So am I understanding this correctly... in the location/situation (air gapped, secure data) a heavily secure external drive would be most useful it doesn't work because it needs an internet/wifi connection to unlock....
Nope - read again carefully needs to be within bluetooth distance of phone, so if they confiscate phone you are jiggeredQuote:

Indeed - but that's not really who it's aimed at because there is NO data storage allowed into those kind of facilities that I know ofQuote:

Really does depend on the site though, as well as what goes on at said site. I'd see this drive purely for private sector company usage.Quote:

That's a 7-8% difference, especially as a smaller drive should in theory be slightly slower.Quote:
The drive has an always-on 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hardware-based encryption using the XTS block cipher mode. And because it's built into the controller silicon, taking the heavy load, G-Technology says there is minimal impact to performance, which we'll prove in the benchmark section.
