Data security on an external hard drive has never been simpler than with ArmorLock, providing easy access via mobile phone.

Western Digital’s ArmorLock Security Platform is the next stage in the evolution of encrypted storage. The platform was designed and developed over several years with the objective of pushing the boundaries of state-of-the-art security techniques while maintaining ease-of-use that feels virtually seamless.

Western Digital began the design process by choosing existing, proven security concepts, improving them where possible, and creating innovative solutions when needed.

These concepts were then woven together to create a next-generation architecture that provides security over many technology layers. The first product to use this platform is the G-Technology encrypted ArmorLock NVMe SSD.

The design of the ArmorLock Security Platform takes inspiration from the use of mobile phones and how people pair them with a variety of external devices, such as headphones, as well as logging in to services and apps using their biometric data such as fingerprint or facial recognition.

Using these actions seemed like the ideal way to add security features in a way that was both natural and intuitive. Western Digital also believed that the existing Bluetooth security standard could be improved upon, so the company rebuilt parts to make it easier to use, while adding extra layers of security.

INNOVATIVE SECURITY MADE SIMPLE

Western Digital used the dedicated hardware-backed key storage available on the Apple iPhone and MacBook devices to improve the authentication process.

Rather than asking users to create and remember yet another username and password to unlock the drive, the app uses two factors of authentication that are available on your phone.

That could be something such as the passcode used to unlock a phone or the biometric data, plus the presence of the hardware-backed key. This provides a secure method of establishing trust while also eliminating a traditional point of friction and weakness in the verification process.

The G-Technology ArmorLock Encrypted NVMe SSD is the first product of Western Digital’s new ArmorLock Security platform. WD is looking for a balance of high-performance, security, and ease of use. The drive leverages USB 3.2 Gen 2 for the quoted performance of 1GB/s in both read and write. Management is done through a simple and intuitive mobile app. Users can set up and start using the device in a matter of minutes.

The G-Technology ArmorLock Encrypted NVMe SSD provides far more security than the normal portable drive, with easy to use apps for drive and user access management. It should be noted that G-Technology has faster portable drives should speed be the primary concern. Security and ease of use are the crux of this particular matter, however. At $600 the drive is expensive, but it’s clearly the class leader in providing high-security portable storage that offers simple, yet powerful, management tools

The ArmorLock is like no other data security systems. All users need is a smartphone or computer to run the Armorlock app. The app guides users through the whole setup. After downloading and setting up the app your device will be working within minutes. It’s that simple!

Tech Journalist, Mark Sparrow has been road testing the ArmorLock and gives his review on the future for ultra secure SSD storage. Check out some highlights from his review.

“The G-Technology ArmorLock is going to be a godsend for creatives, especially those working in the movie or TV industries where security of footage is essential. Imagine you’ve shot a terabyte of great video footage and want to send it to a colleague for editing. Instead of uploading it to a server that could be insecure or hacked, you can physically send the drive to the colleague who can then unlock it securely at their end with your permission. And because the drive uses NVMe technology, it’s fast enough to be used for editing movies and music right on the drive.”

Mark Sparrow

“In a world where security is a serious matter, I can see the G-Technology ArmorLock drive being used in a range of professions. Whether it’s finance, government, healthcare, legal, media and entertainment sectors, all these industries have one thing in common; they all handle large amounts of sensitive and valuable data that can’t be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. The days of taking work home on a USB stick or the spare office hard drive are well and truly over. Losing data on a device can cost an employee their job and the company or institution its reputation.”

Mark Sparrow

“ArmorLock feels like an incredibly innovating new security platform for protecting precious data. I’m not a security expert but I understand how this works and appreciate its advantages and ease of use. I’m looking forward to hearing what crative professionals think of it as it seems to tick all their boxes. If you want a generous storage device with lightning-fast speed and cast-iron encryption and security, the new ArmorLock system and G-Technology NVMe SSD drive is now setting the standards for the rest of the storage industry to follow.”

StorageReview.com’s Adam Armstrong gives his review of this brand new product. Check out some of the highlights below.

“Everything made my G-Technology is nice and clean looking. If one is in the market for nice looking tech gear, G-Tech never disappoints, though tastes can be subjective. The G-Technology ArmorLock Encrypted NVMe SSD is small enough to fit in the palm of a user’s hand but may be a tad bulky for a pocket. n the top there is the G branding in the middle with LED Locked/Unlocked indicator lights on either side. In the middle is a grill with a yellow heat-dispersing aluminum core. G-Technology went with the gold heat sync for these products to help visually differentiate them from their mainstream offerings that use a teal/blue ID.

Adam Armstrong

The G-Technology ArmorLock Encrypted NVMe SSD provides far more security than the normal portable drive, with easy to use apps for drive and user access management. It also leverages the ubiquitous USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, delivering a a pretty good performance profile. It should be noted that G-Technology has faster portable drives should speed be the primary concern. Security and ease of use is the crux of this particular matter however. At $600 the drive is expensive, but it’s clearly the class leader in providing high-security portable storage that offers simple, yet powerful, management tools.
