The CRU DataPort 25 Secure External Drive Enclosure is a compact, palm-sized solution designed to bring secure, removable storage into spaces where form factor and rugged durability matter most. Engineered to slide into any standard 3.5" floppy drive bay, this external enclosure enables hard disk drives to be removed and secured with AES-256 hardware encryption, delivering government-strength data protection right at the point of storage. Built from heavy-duty stainless steel, it stands up to challenging environments, making it an excellent choice for field technicians, secure workstations, and space-constrained Small Form Factor (SFF) systems where every inch counts. Whether you are safeguarding sensitive records, creating portable security for onsite deployments, or simply looking to streamline data management in compact environments, the DataPort 25 delivers reliable, encrypted storage without sacrificing space or performance.

  • Secure, hardware-based encryption: AES-256 encryption performed by the device's own hardware ensures data at rest remains protected against unauthorized access. This government-strength security helps meet strict compliance requirements and provides peace of mind when transporting sensitive information between sites or devices.
  • Removable HDD in a standard 3.5" bay: Designed to drop into a typical 3.5" drive bay, the DataPort 25 enables quick removal and replacement of drives. This feature is ideal for environments that require frequent drive swaps, disaster recovery testing, or secure offloading of data without complex hardware.
  • Rugged, stainless steel construction: Built for heavy-duty use, the enclosure uses durable stainless steel to withstand demanding conditions. The rugged design protects drives from physical shock and environmental exposure, making it suitable for field deployments, warehouse floors, and transportation scenarios where durability matters.
  • Compact, space-saving form factor: With its palm-sized footprint, the DataPort 25 fits neatly into crowded workstations and Small Form Factor systems. This compact enclosure preserves valuable rack space and reduces clutter in compact server rooms or mobile setups while still delivering enterprise-grade security.
  • Simple integration for secure storage: The external enclosure is engineered for easy integration into existing hardware setups. It supports standard drive configurations in a 3.5" bay, provides straightforward maintenance access, and enables secure data management without requiring significant workflow changes or specialized tools.

How to install CRU DataPort 25 8531-5919-9500 Drive Enclosure External

Installing the DataPort 25 is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize security. Follow these steps to deploy the enclosure in a typical, space-conscious setup:

  • Power down the host system and identify an available 3.5" drive bay. The DataPort 25 is designed to slide into a standard 3.5" bay for quick installation without requiring additional adapters.
  • Remove the blank panel from the selected drive bay to reveal the mounting area. If your enclosure uses screws for drive bay installation, prepare the appropriate screws and a screwdriver for secure mounting.
  • Slide the DataPort 25 into the bay and align it with the chassis rails. Gently push until the enclosure is seated and evenly positioned within the bay to ensure stable operation and easy drive removal when needed.
  • Secure the enclosure with the appropriate mounting hardware. Tighten screws just enough to hold the unit firmly without over-tightening, which could stress the chassis or drive connections.
  • Connect the enclosure to the host system using the appropriate interface and power supply per your workstation or server configuration. Ensure the device is powered on and recognized by the system, then initialize the drive in the operating system if required.
  • Initialize and format the drive as needed, taking advantage of the AES-256 hardware encryption for data protection. Store encryption keys and recovery information in a secure location separate from the drive.
  • Test access to the encrypted drive by saving a sample file and verifying that encryption remains active during read/write operations. Safely eject or remove the drive only after proper data transfer confirms completion.

Frequently asked questions

What is the DataPort 25 8531-5919-9500 Drive Enclosure External designed for?

The DataPort 25 is designed to provide secure, removable storage by housing a 3.5" hard disk drive in a rugged, palm-sized enclosure that slides into a standard drive bay. It combines hardware-based AES-256 encryption with a compact, durable build, making it suitable for space-constrained environments, field deployments, and secure data workflows where both portability and protection are essential.

What type of encryption does it use?

The enclosure employs AES-256 hardware encryption, delivering government-strength security for data at rest. This means data stored on the removable drive is encrypted by dedicated hardware, helping to meet high-security requirements without relying solely on software-based protection.

Is the DataPort 25 compatible with standard drives and systems?

The unit is designed to accommodate standard 3.5" hard disk drives housed in a removable enclosure that fits into typical drive bays. While it provides secure storage, ensure you select drives that are compatible with your system’s power and interface requirements and follow your organization’s data-management policies when configuring encryption and access.

What environments is this enclosure best suited for?

Its heavy-duty stainless steel construction and compact, space-saving form factor make it ideal for rugged field use, secure workstations, and Small Form Factor systems where space is critical. It is well-suited for environments requiring durable hardware, physical drive removability, and strong data protection for portable storage.

How do I maintain security with this enclosure?

To maintain security, treat encryption keys and recovery information as highly sensitive assets. Store keys in a separate, secure location and implement a clear data-handling policy. Regularly verify the encryption status, perform integrity checks on encrypted volumes, and maintain physical security by using tamper-resistant mounting and secure storage for removable drives when not in use.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!
