Introduction

U2ATAEMR40 is an USB 2.0 to ATA Mobile Rack with 128-bit AES Encryption.

U2ATAEMR40 is ideally suited for tailgate interface applications for 3.5" ATA/ Serial ATA hard disk drive. It allows ATA/Serial ATA HDD to be connected to USB 2.0 serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion.

The U2ATAEMR40 with 128-bit, hardware-encrypted security for use with ATA/SATA Hard Disk Drives using a USB 2.0 interface. The hardware encryption/decryption function, which is fully compliant with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), combines with two-level software authentication of passwords to prevent unauthorized access of memory content.

Any unauthorized attempt to decipher the U2ATAEMR40's keys is virtually impossible as it would take 149 trillion years to determine all possibilities at an attempted recovery rate of one key per second. This extraordinary level of security is attributed to the 3.4x1038 possible options the U2ATAEMR40 offers to code keys.

U2ATAEMR40 provides the perfect solution for data backup and transferring of data between computers using 3.5" ATA/Serial ATA HDDs.
