Ricoh Corporation Introduces The Aficio 1060/1075 Removable Hard Drive
Safe, secure and reliable solution protects classified and confidential information
West Caldwell, NJ, August 5, 2003 - Ricoh Corporation, the leading provider of digital office equipment, today introduced the RicohÒ Aficio 1060/1075 Removable Hard Drive (RHD) option, which secures access to a system's internal hard drive and prevents confidential information from being potentially retrieved or stolen.
In environments where confidential documents are copied, scanned or printed on a digital system, an image of that information typically remains on the system's internal hard drive, where it is vulnerable to compromise. The Ricoh Aficio 1060/1075 RHD system's internal hard drive is externally mounted in a secure, key-locked bay, allowing the hard drive to be unlocked, removed and stored in a secure location.
To provide even more security and flexibility when dealing with both classified and non-classified documents, an optional second Removable Hard Drive is available. This allows Ricoh Aficio 1060/1075 systems to handle two separate interchangeable Removable Hard Drives; one RHD for classified documents and the other RHD for unclassified documents. After classified documents have been copied or printed, the classified drive can be removed and placed in a secure location and the unclassified drive can be reinserted for unclassified copying or printing. A numbered labeling system ensures easy identification of the RHD while in storage and when being replaced in the system.
"Ricoh's Aficio 1060/1075 RHD system provides an ideal solution for government, military and other office environments with mid- to high-volume document protection and information security needs," said Hede Nonaka, Vice President of Marketing for Ricoh Corporation. "The Ricoh Removable Hard Drive solution ensures sensitive information is controlled at all times."
The Aficio 1060/1075 RHD is available at a suggested retail price of $1,500. The Aficio1060/1070 additional RHD accessory is also available at a suggested retail price of $765.
