Product Description
When sensitive data leaves the building, the weakest link is usually the device carrying it. The DataLocker DL450 FE Managed removes that weakness entirely — and then puts your IT team in control of every drive in your fleet. It is a rugged, TAA-compliant encrypted portable SSD built for organisations that cannot afford a data breach, and the Managed edition adds a mandatory SafeConsole connection that gives administrators centralised visibility, policy enforcement, and remote wipe capability from day one.
AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption runs directly on the device, with onboard key generation that never exposes keys to the host system. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified, Common Criteria EAL 5+ certified, and sourced through a NATO-trusted supply chain — the DL450 FE meets the standards that matter in regulated environments. The Managed edition requires SafeConsole for activation and ongoing management. In exchange, it unlocks smart card authentication (CAC, PIV, YubiKey PIV), automated audit reporting, certified data erasure with proof of destruction, and the ability to remotely disable or wipe a drive the moment it is reported lost or stolen.

The physical build matches the security ambitions of the electronics inside. The metal-framed enclosure is IP67 rated against dust and water immersion, and MIL-STD-810H certified for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes. Epoxy-coated internals mean the drive resists physical tampering. A Kensington Security Slot gives you the option to cable-lock it to a desk or equipment rack when in use. This is a drive that survives the environments it is deployed in.
Where the Standard edition supports standalone use, the Managed edition is designed from the ground up for fleet deployment. SafeConsole handles onboarding, policy assignment, access control, and compliance reporting across every drive in the organisation. Remote disable and remote wipe mean a lost drive stops being a liability the moment you act on it. Certified data erasure with tamper-evident proof of destruction satisfies the audit requirements that regulated industries demand.

Product Q&A
Q: What is the difference between the Standard and Managed editions?
A: The Standard edition (DL450 FE) works as a standalone device — password and biometric authentication, no management software required. It can optionally connect to SafeConsole later. The Managed edition (DL450 FE-M) requires SafeConsole from the outset. In return, it adds smart card authentication (CAC, PIV, YubiKey PIV), centralised policy enforcement, remote wipe, automated audit reporting, and certified proof of data destruction. If you are deploying to a regulated fleet, the Managed edition is the right choice.
Q: What is SafeConsole, and is it included?
A: SafeConsole is DataLocker's cloud or on-premise management platform for encrypted storage devices. It is required to activate and use the DL450 FE Managed edition — the drive cannot be used without it. A SafeConsole licence is purchased separately from DataLocker or an authorised reseller. Contact us if you need help with licensing.
Q: Is this drive compatible with both Windows and Mac?
A: Yes. The DL450 FE Managed connects via USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) and is compatible with Windows and macOS. The SafeConsole management console runs on Windows Server or as a cloud-hosted service, so check your IT environment before ordering.
Q: What happens if a drive is lost or stolen?
A: With SafeConsole, the administrator can remotely disable the drive immediately — it becomes unusable even if the correct password is entered. A remote wipe command triggers a cryptographic erase (NIST 800-88 compliant), destroying all data irreversibly. The hardware auto-wipe also triggers after a configurable number of failed authentication attempts.
Q: What certifications does the DL450 FE hold?
A: FIPS 140-3 Level 3, Common Criteria EAL 5+, IP67, MIL-STD-810H, and TAA compliant. The supply chain is NATO trusted. These certifications make the DL450 FE suitable for government, defence, healthcare, and legal deployments where compliance is non-negotiable.
