Our DataPort DP27 removable drive offers powerful and reliable data security for workstations, laptops, desktops, and any other device with USB port (take a look at our DP27 Dock – it's an external hard drive that accepts DP27 drive carriers).

As you might suspect, the IT challenges that accompany certain aspects of the federal government, such as the Department of Defense, are immense.

Removable drives like ours fit well into workflows that include cloud-based storage or applications. They’re the bedrock for foolproof onsite backup, and they provide a speedy and efficient way to seed a cloud environment.

From hacking in the news to Harvard rescinding its acceptance to at least 10 students over controversial Facebook posts, you likely have been hearing lately about your digital footprint and digital forensics.

The DataPort DP27 removable drive is designed to fit into slimline optical disk drive bays, one of the most commonly found drive bays in computers today. That means that the DP27 can be installed into workstations, desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, government technology, or any other type of device. The DP27 ingests 2.5” hard drives or SSDs with the speedy 6G SATA interface.
