This chapter provides product information about the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Secure Hard Drive (hereafter called the secure hard drive). Product description The secure hard drive is a portable, light-weight, and high-speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 standard option that offers high-level data security. You can transfer data using the integrated USB cable on the secure hard drive or the provided USB 3.0 Y cable. In addition to regular USB 3.0 hard disk drive functions, it also provides you with an easy-to-use full disk encryption solution. All the functions are integrated into the secure hard drive; therefore, you can access the secure hard drive and manage passwords without using other software applications. The secure hard drive has three working modes: standby mode, administrator mode, and user mode. For more information about the working modes, refer to Chapter 3 “Using the secure hard drive” on page 5. Note: Passwords are required for administrator mode and user mode. Accordingly, they are called the administrator password and the user password. Your option package includes the following: • ThinkPad USB 3.0 Secure Hard Drive • USB 3.0 Y cable • Carrying case • Setup and warranty poster © Copyright Lenovo 2011, 2012 1 ®
