Includes:: a triple protection mechanism to ensure data is always safe. Stringent 3-axial/6-angular shock & vibration test Stringent 3-axial/6-angular shock & vibration test: as a point of assurance to users, PU500CA hard drives are subjected to rigorous shock & vibration trials in accordance with surrogate testing to beyond common industry standards. Motion sensor defense mechanism Motion sensor protection mechanism: G-sensor hardware & hard drive protection software pre-empt imminent impacts as an additional line of defense in keeping data safe & secure. They use a 3D digital accelerometer with three levels of sensitivity: off, normal, & high. The latter is activated by default, & impact detection remains on at all times. Metal bracket air bag Metal brackets & shock absorbers: metal brackets add structural strength around hard drives, protecting storage beyond mainstream standards. This is complemented by shock-absorbing cushions designed as additional shields to protect data in the event of shocks or drops experienced by the notebook during transportation. ASUS Secure Delete erases data permanently Offers an easy-to-use interface & allows users to permanently remove confidential data from the recycle bin by simply launching Secure Delete & dragging & dropping files to be erased. enhanced privacy with fingerprint scanning Notebooks incorporating fingerprint scanning take data access authorization & protection to a higher level with a personal touch. RF electronic scanner imaging reads fingerprint patterns, using sensors that are less affected by skin surface conditions, including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin, which may impair the ability of other sensor technologies to accurately detect fingerprints.
