Chapter 1. About the secure hard drive

This chapter provides product information about the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Secure Hard Drive (referred to as
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 "Use the secure hard drive" on page 7.
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
