Core Security Information

[!NOTE] ST300 Notice The ST300 model does not support hardware encryption features.

[!NOTE] Random Keypad Entry All password inputs utilize a Random Keypad system. The position of each number changes every time the screen is activated. Carefully verify the keypad layout on the IODD MINI screen before entering or setting your password.

[!CAUTION] Data Initialization Enabling or disabling the encryption feature will completely erase (initialize) all data on the internal drive. It is mandatory to back up your important files before making changes to the encryption state.

[!WARNING] Encryption Incompatibility Encryption formats are not compatible between different IODD generations. Drives encrypted on IODD 2541 or ST400/LK100/MINI PRO cannot be read by an IODD MINI, and vice-versa.

[!WARNING] Third-Party Software Conflicts Do not use IODD hardware encryption in conjunction with software-based Full Disk Encryption (FDE) solutions such as BitLocker or VeraCrypt. Simultaneous use may lead to critical system errors or data corruption.
