How does hardware encryption work on MiniStation Extreme?

Last Updated: 10/15/2024


MiniStation Extreme features a hardware encryption chip that encrypts all data on the hard drive. The encryption is always on, but it is completely transparent to the user and device until a password is enabled. Once the password is enabled, it MUST be provided to access the data. It cannot be circumvented by removing the hard drive from the MiniStation Extreme. The data on the device is encrypted by the highest standard of encryption available on the market today. Also, if you do not use the password and remove the drive from the enclosure, the data will still be encrypted and inaccessible outside of the MiniStation Extreme's chassis.
