Description

Protect your personal and professional files with the OWC Guardian 2TB SSD external hard drive. Featuring an innovative color touchscreen for smartphone-like management, it offers automatic hardware encryption and complete protection, even if the internal drive is removed. With incredible read and write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, it is the ideal premium solution for content creators and professionals seeking top security and speed on Mac, iPad Pro, and PC.

Innovative Color Touch Screen for Smartphone-Like Experience

The OWC Guardian brings a true revolution to the external storage devices sector by incorporating a standalone color touchscreen. Managing and protecting your files is now as easy and intuitive as using a modern smartphone. Simply connect the device, enter your personal access code directly on the built-in screen, and transfer your files or folders with a simple drag-and-drop motion, without the need to install any application on your computer.

Automatic Hardware Encryption and Absolute Protection

Whether you want to protect valuable personal moments or highly confidential corporate information, the OWC Guardian offers complete peace of mind. The drive automatically encrypts data during recording and decrypts it during reading through hardware encryption. The top security advantage is that even if the device is stolen or lost and someone tries to completely remove the internal SSD from the casing, the data remains 100% inaccessible and locked without entering the correct password.

Unbelievable Speeds of 1,000 MB/s for Demanding Workflows

Don't let slow data transfers delay your productivity. This external SSD offers real speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s read and write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s, allowing you to complete your tasks instantly. It is the perfect tool for videographers and photographers, as it can handle the transfer of large files with incredible ease, perform daily backups, and even facilitate smooth, direct 4K video editing without interruptions.

Large Capacity 2 TB and High-Speed USB-C Connection

With a high capacity of 2 TB, the device offers plenty of space to create a secure digital library for all your critical files, programs, and multimedia projects. It connects via a state-of-the-art 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, which supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s. The package includes an ergonomic 50cm USB-C cable, ensuring you have everything you need for immediate use from day one.

Universal Compatibility with Mac, iPad Pro, and PC

One of the most important features of the OWC Guardian is its complete independence from the operating environment. It functions flawlessly and offers compatibility with Mac, iPad Pro, and PC, without requiring special configurations, driver installations, or changes to the file system. Since the encryption process is controlled directly by the built-in hardware and the advanced controller Realtek RTL9210B, you can transfer the drive from a Windows system to a macOS or iPadOS environment and work immediately without any restrictions.
