1.1 Data protection by keycard (using RFID technology)

The data on the Mobile Drive Secure can be protected from unwanted access by using a keycard to unlock the drive. This keycard is placed over a sensor inside the Mobile Drive Secure, when the Mobile Drive Secure recognizes the keycard it will unlock the drive for use.

The technology inside the keycard and the Mobile Drive Secure is called RFID. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. The same technology can be found for example in office buildings, where people need to present a keycard if they want access to the building or to a certain floor / department / room.

Your Mobile Drive Secure comes with 2 Keycards, in credit card size. This card fits easily in your wallet so you always will carry it with you. The default setting of the drive is "no protection". When starting to use the Mobile Drive Secure for the first time, you need to configure the 2 supplied keycards with the drive. The Mobile Drive Secure can identify maximum 2 keycards. We suggest that – after configuring – you use one keycard (labeled "Security Key") and store the other keycard (labeled "Master Key") in a safe place, in case your Security Key gets lost.

Of course you can also use the drive without the keycards. In that case you do not need to run the configuration wizard – you can immediately start using your hard drive after unpacking it from the box. Please note that your data is not protected against unwanted access then.

You can also decide to use the keycard protection at a later stage, however please note that the drive needs to be reformatted then and all data on the drive will be lost. See chapter 4.
