FAQs

What is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification?

FIPS 140-3 Level 3 is a US government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules. Level 3 indicates a high level of physical security and identity-based authentication, ensuring robust protection against tampering and unauthorized access.

Can I use the DL4 FE without SafeConsole?

Yes, the DL4 FE can be used as a standalone device with its own administrator and user password management. However, advanced features like remote lock/erase/sanitize are only available when managed by SafeConsole.

What operating systems are supported?

The DataLocker DL4 FE is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

What does the 'SilentKill' feature do?

The SilentKill feature allows an administrator to remotely trigger a command that erases all data on the drive, rendering it inoperable. This is a critical security measure for preventing data compromise if the drive is lost or stolen.

How is the data protected on the DL4 FE?

Data is protected through 256-bit AES hardware encryption, meaning the encryption process is handled by a dedicated chip on the device itself, not by the host computer. This ensures strong encryption performance without impacting system resources.

What is the difference between the SSD and HDD versions?

The SSD (Solid State Drive) versions offer significantly faster read and write speeds, better durability due to no moving parts, and lower power consumption compared to the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) versions. The DL4 FE specified here is an SSD.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the device and the computer. Try a different USB port and, if possible, a different USB cable. Check if the device has power and has been unlocked with the correct password.

Forgotten user password

If you are the administrator, you can unlock the device using the administrator password and allow the user to reset their password. If you are a standard user and have forgotten the password, contact your administrator.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that the device is connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port or higher. Ensure the drive is not heavily fragmented (less common with SSDs but possible). Close other applications that may be consuming system resources.

Touchscreen unresponsive

Attempt to power cycle the device by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. Ensure the screen is clean and free of any obstructions. If the issue persists, contact DataLocker support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior data security with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.
  • Flexible management options: standalone or centralized with SafeConsole.
  • Durable construction for reliable physical protection.
  • Intuitive touchscreen interface for ease of use.
  • High storage capacity for demanding applications.

Cons

  • Full remote management features require the SafeConsole software.
  • USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) speeds may be a bottleneck for extremely high-performance tasks compared to newer USB standards.
  • Higher cost associated with advanced security features and enterprise-grade hardware.
  • Mobile operating systems are not supported for direct connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For standalone use, connect the DL4 FE to your computer using the provided USB Type-C cable. Follow the on-screen instructions on the color touchscreen to set up an administrator password and then a user password. Administrators can configure password policies, such as minimum length, character types, and lockout thresholds.

Compatibility: The DL4 FE is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Ensure your system has a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher) port for optimal performance.

Care: Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight. Ensure the USB port is free of dust and debris. For managed devices, regular firmware updates may be necessary through the SafeConsole platform.
