Buslink CipherShield TAA Compliant 2TB 2.5" SATA External Portable Solid State Drive

The Buslink DSE-2TSDG2C is a 2TB portable solid state drive that delivers secure storage and quick file transfers in a 2.5-inch form factor that travels well. Designed for professionals who manage confidential material, it keeps sensitive data close at hand without sacrificing speed or convenience.

Security sits at the center of this drive. Hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption meets NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements, and Buslink’s CipherShield system relies on a Smart Insert CipherKey for authentication. Insert the key, and the drive unlocks instantly; remove it, and everything is protected again. The approach removes the need for passwords while supporting HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley mandates that govern many healthcare, legal, and financial workflows.

When deadlines press, the USB-C interface steps up. Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports and built on USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology, it moves data at up to 10 Gbps, so large media files or encrypted backups finish in minutes instead of hours. The drive remains backward compatible with USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 systems, which helps when you switch between newer laptops and older desktops at the office.

A solid state design brings the durability you expect. The internal flash memory resists shock, and the metal alloy case shrugs off daily bumps in a backpack or briefcase. Power comes straight from the USB port, though an optional adapter is available when a host device supplies limited current. Whether you are a traveling consultant, an in-house IT manager, or a legal professional who needs evidence files on site, this drive offers a secure and reliable place to store them.
