Class 1 – Data Protect protects the user’s data from being retrieved by unauthorized individuals. Apacer products come with a 512 byte Security Key, activated whenever the SSD is booted. The key serves as password authorization. Each time the device is put into operation, a prior key verification will take place. The host must obtain the key that matches the one previously set and stored in the SSD. Failure to match the key will result in aborted operation.
