OWC Guardian is a powerful drive that makes it easy to protect your data anywhere
Secure storage at your fingertips
Whether you want to protect your private files from prying eyes or have confidential business information that cannot be disclosed, OWC Guardian gives you peace of mind with data security and smartphone-like ease of use.
Simply connect the bus-powered OWC Guardian to any Mac, iPad Pro, or PC equipped with a USB-C port, enter your password, and drag and drop your files and folders onto the colorful screen. Regardless of the operating system, OWC Guardian automatically encrypts data when you save it and decrypts it when you want to read it. Even if OWC Guardian is lost or stolen and the internal SSD is removed, access to the data will not be possible without the correct password.
Best encryption
OWC storage solutions are designed to be the best in every way, which is why the OWC Guardian palm drive is equipped with military-grade hardware encryption. The OWC Aura SSD inside the Guardian has a built-in 256-bit AES OPAL cryptographic processor that provides continuous data protection without slowing down your computer with encryption tasks. Additionally, the physical design of the OWC Guardian ensures that you never have to worry about malware, hacking, or brute force attempts to steal your data.
Speed to match its power
The OWC Guardian is ideal for protecting your data and content on the go, but you can also leverage its incredible performance to boost your mobile productivity. With real-world read/write speeds of up to 1000 MB/s, you can transfer large files, back up your data, and edit 4K videos in a flash.
Fully customizable access
- With great protection comes great responsibility. OWC Guardian gives you the ability to configure multiple access settings to meet all your data security requirements:
- Choose a numeric PIN or an easy-to-remember password with multiple password options to set separate access permissions for the administrator and end user.
- Configurable password length from 6 to 30 characters and 3-5 password attempts.
- Adjustable automatic timeout that locks the drive
- Random touch screen layout and secure erasure for maximum protection of important files
- Read-only mode so that existing data cannot be modified or deleted
- Secure erasure of the drive to remove all passwords and encryption functions
