GENERAL

Introduction

COMMANDER F Series (Desktop) Encryption USB 3.0 (2.0)

Commander line has the world’s most

technologically advanced encrypted

desktop external hard drive in the market

today.

Commander FC is made with more than 1.5

Lb (~0.75 Kg) of recycled aluminum, making

this enclosure extremely ruggedized. The

exclusive shock-absorbent mechanism

(patent pending) within the enclosure keeps the hard drive suspended within the casing, while

dissipating the heat produced by the hard drive, keeping it at the ideal temperature.

The built-in power supply will offer the user the flexibility they require by eliminating carrying

extra non-standardized and sometimes bulky adaptors and cables. The power supply contained

in the Commander line is Auto-Switchable 240VA/100VA (will work internationally) and uses

any standard computer cable, no matter what country you are in. Commander contains no fan,

making this device the quietest desktop external hard drive.

Commander external hard drives deliver extraordinary performance, transfer speeds, and

reliability for both Mac and PC users. Specifically designed for demanding security concerned

professionals, the Commander FC contains a fast SATA high-capacity 3.5″drive in a stylish and

unique aluminum case that can be stacked or mounted vertically. With its built-in power supply

and fan-less and quiet operation, the Commander FC can be easily moved from one desktop

environment to another using the provided carrying case, with 4TB single hard drive

introduction making this device the most versatile portable drive in the world today.

It has been integrated with one of the most secure encryption hardware-based chipsets in the

world. It contains Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm AES-256 bit key

strength, real-time encryption. There is virtually zero time in encrypting and

decrypting the data. In either CBC or ECB modes, the encryption chip bears

certifications of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),

and FIPS Level 2 for Cryptographic Module. It is authenticated by digital key

token, which is inserted for authentication and removed soon after the

device is authenticated and ready for use.

Choose Rocsecure drives and store your future.

MUST BE READ FIRST

Commander FC9 uses the most advanced encryption chip. It encrypts and decrypts all the data that is

being read and written simultaneously in real-time. It uses a digital key token to authenticate and

authorize to access data in the device.

This device contains three (3) digital key tokens that bear the mini USB form factor; the three (3) digital

keys provided with each device are unique and have the same key codes.

Each Commander works only with the similar digital key tokens that it has been formatted with.

You must keep at least one of the digital key tokens in a safe place.

If you lose all of your digital key tokens, you lose your data.

Rocstor does not keep a note of any key codes nor will be able to copy any digital Keys.

oIn the future, you may order your device with as many keys with similar key codes as you prefer

(extra digital keys bear additional costs). Rocstor is not able to reproduce or copy digital keys

once it leaves the factory.

Any set of digital keys can be formatted with as many Commander Products as you prefer. That

means if you have two (2) or more (or even twenty [20]) Commander Devices you can format all of

them with one set of digital keys. Digital key(s) with the same key code in this scenario are one set of

keys that would authenticate all of the Commander devices.

The key token works with the hard drive. If at any time if your device ports becomes defective but

your hard drive is in working condition (not damaged), the hard drive can be instead into another

similar enclosure and it will operate with your digital key that it had been formatted with originally.

If you lose one or even two digital keys, you may conduct the following tasks:

Purchase another set of digital keys from Rocstor.

You may purchase as many digital key tokens with the same key codes as you prefer

(recommendation: not to exceed 11 pieces of digital keys with the same key codes).

Once you have the new set of digital key tokens in your possession, you may proceed with the

following tasks:

oUsing one of the original keys (may be the last key in your possession) that authenticates your

drive, back up your data into another external hard drive or into a specific file made in your

computer hard drive designated for these data transfer.
