The Future of Secure Storage: Meet the OWC Guardian, an Easy-to-Use, Portable Touchscreen SSD

Guardian offers an intuitive, easy-to-use way for anyone to safeguard sensitive information on the go without sacrificing speed or simplicity.

Effortless Encryption, Unyielding Security

Data security is paramount, and the OWC Guardian makes it remarkably simple. This portable SSD features 256-bit AES OPAL hardware encryption, which automatically encrypts your data as it's written and decrypts it upon authorized access. This robust hardware-based encryption ensures the highest level of data security without impacting your computer's processor performance.

Not only is Guardian easy to use, it's also customizable, giving you the power to configure multiple access settings to satisfy any data security requirement:

• Choice of numeric PIN or a memorable passphrase with multi-password option to set separate admin and end-user access permissions
• Configurable password lengths of 6-30 characters and 3-5 password attempts
• Adjustable auto-timeout to lock the drive
• Randomized touchscreen layout and secure erasure for maximum protection of important files
• Read-Only mode so existing data cannot be modified or deleted
• Secure-Erase the drive to wipe out all passwords and encryption capability

Intuitive Design with a Touch of Innovation

The OWC Guardian stands out with its user-friendly design. It incorporates a built-in color touchscreen, allowing for smartphone-like operation.

Using the touchscreen you can enter your PIN or passphrase directly on the device to access your data. The drive is housed in an anodized aluminum body, providing optimal heat dissipation and impact protection.

Security shouldn't mean sacrificing performance. That's why the OWC Guardian boasts real-world transfer speeds of up to 1000MB/s, making it incredibly fast for read and write operations.

It's available in capacities up to 4TB, allowing you to handle large file backups, media transfers, and even 4K video editing with ease.
