®
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
