"I think the days of carrying data around in an unencrypted state have pretty much come to an end. It's just too risky, especially if that data is in any way important or subject to regulatory oversight. But encrypting and decrypting drives can also be a pain, and must be as quick and simple as possible. I don't think that process can get any easier than tapping an SSD with your smartphone -- and this is exactly how the Lexar TouchLock Portable SSD works."
"Out of the box, the TouchLock Portable SSD feels small and light. Made of lightweight aluminum, measuring a petite 3.37 x 2.09 x 0.28 inches, and weighing in at only 1.4 ounces, this drive feels space-age. There's an NFC touchpad on the back, a MagSafe magnet ring on the front for attaching to a smartphone, and a single USB-C port on the bottom."
Lexar TouchLock Portable SSD uses NFC tap-to-unlock and 128-bit AES hardware encryption so data is encrypted at rest and never stored unencrypted. The pocket-sized, lightweight aluminum enclosure measures 3.37 x 2.09 x 0.28 inches and weighs 1.4 ounces, and includes a MagSafe magnet ring for iPhone attachment, an NFC touchpad, and a single USB-C port. The outer shell is designed to survive 6.5-foot drops. A custom low-power controller prioritizes reliability and lower heat. Sequential write speeds reach up to 450 MBps and read speeds up to 420 MBps, sufficient for handling 4K ProRes 60fps video recorded from an iPhone.
