5.2 Locking and Unlocking the Drive

• 수동 잠금: Within the encryption software interface, there will be an option to 'Lock' or 'Eject' the drive. Selecting this will secure your data and make the drive inaccessible until the correct password is re-entered.

5.3 Brute-Force Protection

For enhanced security, the Integral Crypto-140-2 drive incorporates a brute-force attack protection mechanism. If an incorrect password is entered 6 consecutive times, the drive will automatically initiate a secure data erasure process. This action permanently destroys all data stored on the drive and the encryption key, resetting the drive to its factory state. This feature prevents unauthorized access attempts from compromising your sensitive information.

6. 유지관리

• 신체 관리: Despite its rugged design, avoid unnecessary physical stress, extreme temperatures, or harsh chemicals. The triple-layer design provides protection against water and impacts, but proper handling is always recommended.

  • Always remember your password. There is no backdoor or recovery method for forgotten passwords due to the hardware encryption.
  • Utilize the password hint feature, but ensure the hint is not easily guessable or directly related to the password.
  • If you forget your password and exceed the 6 failed attempts, the drive will be wiped clean, and data will be unrecoverable.
