Featured Reviews

Elvis Mengnjo - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for data transfer, migration, and disaster recovery
The features I like best are the tool's high capacity, scalability, end-to-end encryption for data security, ease of use, durability, and cost-effectiveness. It's particularly cost-effective for transferring large amounts of data compared to high-speed internet transfers. It has been helpful with end-to-end encryption, tamper-evident seals and sensors, and access control through AWS Identity and Access Management. This lets me control who can access and manage the device. It also helps with logging and monitoring and provides physical security.
