Product description
The ThinkPad eSATA/USB Secure Hard Drive (hereafter called the secure hard drive) is a portable,
light-weight, eSATA, high-speed USB 2.0 standard option that offers high level data security. You can
transfer data through either the USB connector or the eSATA connector on the secure hard drive. In
addition to all the regular eSATA and USB 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 manage passwords and access the secure hard drive without using other software
applications.
The secure hard drive has three working modes:
v Standby Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is locked.)
v User Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is unlocked.)
v Admin Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is locked.)
Note: Passwords are required for the Admin Mode and the User Mode. Accordingly, they are called the
Admin Password and the User Password.
