SONY HDEG5/BC

The new drives feature USB3.0 compatibility and use pre-loaded Data Transfer Accelerator software to accelerate transfer speeds up to three times faster compared to the case of data transfer without this software, making them the one of the fastest 2.5" hard drives on the market. The software even boosts transfer speeds when connected to a USB2.0 port, up to two times faster than without using the software.

The Password Protection Manager software makes it easy to lock all or part of the drive using advanced AES 256-bit encryption, so only password-holders will have access to protected data. Meanwhile, Backup Manager makes it a cinch to set up automatic back-ups on any PC, and saves time by intelligently recognising and backing up only data that has been added or modified. FAT32 formatter software is also included for users to convert their drives for use with FAT32 compatible hardware.
