CRU has recently introduced three new removable drives to our roster of storage devices for data security and data transport. Millions of our removables are installed worldwide, relied on and trusted by government agencies, military organizations, and businesses.

CRU removable drives are the industry standard for data security and data transport. Trusted by government agencies, the military, and major manufactuers, our reliable removables offer the simplest and best way to move large data sets.

For years, CRU has been supplying removable drives for HP, Dell, and other computers purchased by Federal agencies, military organizations, and government entities around the world. For the most part, our customers have been using SATA hard drives and SSDs in their removables, though, we still provide removable devices to organizations with legacy applications that use, for example, SCSI and IDE interfaces.

The reasons are always the same: our customers want a simple, rugged solution for data security and/or data transport. 

As storage technology continues to evolve, so have CRU removable drives. The most recent innovations in the world of storage have been with speedy flash memory and SSDs. While there are SSDs that use the SATA interface, PCIe/NVMe SSDs have been used for a few years in laptops and other computers. These drives are either soldered directly to the motherboard or installed into a PCIe slot. PCIe/NVMe drives come in various physical sizes and capacities and have about an 8x speed advantage compared to their SATA counterparts, so naturally, people want to take advantage of the performance gains. 

Removable drives provide a cost-effective and safe way to manage data for security, transport, growth, backup, and archiving.

You might have noticed that hacking and massive data breaches have become a thing. Equifax. Target. Home Depot. The federal Securities and Exchange Commission. U.S. voter databases.

Fires. Hurricanes. Tsunamis. Tornadoes. Typhoons. Earthquakes.

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.
