USB 3.0 SuperCrypt™
SuperCrypt User’s Guide
Your SuperCrypt Drive has been configured with two partitions, meaning that when you first plug in your drive, you will
see two drives mount. One drive is the SuperCrypt interface and the other is your data storage partition.
You will see a screen like this:
For first time setup, ignore this screen and setup the second partition.
Note: The data storage partition has been preconfigured but has not been
formatted. Choose quick format, NTFS and preparing this operation should take
less than 30 seconds.
Creating a secure partition
When you are ready, you can run this program to secure your drive. Once
secured this is the only partition that will mount upon insertion. From there
forward, a password will need to be authenticated in order to access the
data partition.
Note: If you chose not to run this program, both partitions will continue to open in
parallel, unsecured. This is good to keep in mind when you are travelling to a
system without administrative privileges.
Running the Security Software
You may run the software from the window picture above by clicking on the highlighted area or by opening the read-
only partition and clicking on the file, Password.exe (note: this application requires Administrative Rights).
You will then see a screen like this:
You will notice that this screen has three tabs: Unlock Disk, Password Management
and Advanced.
Unlock Disk – This is the tab used to unlock the disk. In addition, it shows the status
of the drive including: The Encryption Type and Security State.
Since the drive is currently unlocked the option to unlock the driver is grayed out.
The Encryption type will depend upon the type of SuperCrypt drive you purchased.
They standard SuperCrypt drive is encrypted with 128bit AES (ECB) encryption. The
SuperCrypt Pro uses a stronger security algorithm, 256bit AES (XTS) encryption.
