About Apricorn Aegis Padlock 3.0

A robust and secure solution for your data storage needs, the Aegis Padlock 3.0 1TB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Encrypted Portable External SSD offers unparalleled security and convenience. This pocket-sized powerhouse is designed to securely store and transport your most sensitive data, offering a wide range of storage capacities in both HDD and high-speed SSD formats.

Featuring 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encryption, this USB drive is PIN authenticated, ensuring your data remains safe and secure. The Aegis Padlock 3.0 offers ultra-fast USB 3.1 (3.0) data transfer speeds, ensuring efficient performance. All data is encrypted on-the-fly, and the PINs and data remain encrypted even when the drive is not in use.

This external SSD is cross-platform compatible and OS agnostic, thriving with Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and Chrome. It's also designed to function in environments where software-based encrypted drives fail, such as embedded systems and machinery with a powered USB port and storage file system.

The Aegis Padlock 3.0 is built to resist physical tampering, with all internal components protected by a layer of hardened epoxy. The firmware is locked down to prevent modifications, making it immune to malware attacks such as BadUSB.

At the heart of every Apricorn Secure Device is AegisWare, our patent-protected firmware combined with the industry's most advanced feature set. This device features military-grade FIPS PUB 197 validated encryption, seamlessly encrypting all data on the drive on-the-fly.

The Aegis Padlock 3.0 is compatible with the Aegis Configurator, a Windows-based app that allows for quick setup of multiple devices simultaneously. It supports one independent Admin and up to four separate User PINs, with the Admin mode controlling the universal programmable settings of the device.

The device is unlocked by entering a PIN on the onboard keypad, not the host computer's keyboard, circumventing all hardware and software key logging attempts. The polymer-coated buttons are wear-resistant and designed not to reveal the most commonly used buttons.

The Aegis Padlock 3.0 also features two ReadOnly modes, programmable PIN lengths, a brute-force defense mechanism, an unattended auto lock, a lock override, a drive reset feature, and a self-destruct PIN for ultimate data security. The LED key press indicator visually confirms successful button presses, adding to the user-friendly design.

In summary, the Aegis Padlock 3.0 1TB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Encrypted Portable External SSD is a compact, secure, and efficient solution for all your data storage and transportation needs.
