INTRODUCTION
The External CipherChain is a unique security tool that you can use for a
variety of storage applications. Built on a FIPS certified AES 256-bit crypto
engine, the External CipherChain is the perfect solution to secure sensitive
data stored on external RAID storage, hard drive, SSDs. You can even
secure popular flash media when connected to the External CipherChain
by using the Addonics eSATA DigiDrives. The External CipherChain can
also be used as a drive sanitization tool for removing any sensitive data
stored on an used hard drive or flash media.
Similar to the Addonics field proven CipherChain, the External
CipherChain is very easy-to-use and implement. As a simple pass through
device between the storage device and the system, once connected up,
the simple ion of the Cipher key will activate the encryption and decryption
of the data on the fly with no noticeable performance degradation. There is no software or driver to install and no
special training required. It is as easy as using a key to open a door. The External CipherChain is Operating System
independent and will work on any system.

Any external storage device with eSATA or SATA connection can be attached to the External CipherChain, which
in turn connects to any host via an eSATA port. Using an optional Addonics USB 3.0 - eSATA adapter, the External
CipherChain can connect to a USB 3.0 / 2.0 port on any computer. The compact size and rugged metal housing of
the External Cipherchain makes it extremely portable and easy to deploy in various environments where applica-
tions require solid data security. The External CipherChain operates at very low power and can be powered
directly by a system using various Addonics optional cables.
