3TB Apricorn Aegis Padlock External Hard Drive - Black by Apricorn

Security for your Desktop
Simple to setup, software free and providing real-time AES Hardware Encryption, the Aegis Padlock DT is the perfect desktop companion

Apart from setting up a password on your desktop and a perhaps a firewall, we often don't consider the security of the files on our desktop machines. Information such as customer files, credit card information or proprietary company data should be kept secure, but should be easy to access by authorized personnel. Enter the Aegis Padlock DT, designed specifically for desktop systems, this high capacity desktop external drive has everything you need to keep you files secure.

Utilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm
Featuring 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock DT seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

Software Free Design – With no admin rights to contend with the Aegis Padlock DT is a breeze to implement
With no software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock DT provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. Its Administrator Feature allows enrollment of up to five unique user ID’s and one administrator, making it a useful business collaboration tool.

Super fast USB 3.0 Connection – Data transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0
With a super speed USB 3.0 interface, you can now access your files faster than ever before. The Aegis Padlock DT is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.

Data at Rest Protection
All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.

Brute Force Self Destruct Feature
The Aegis Padlock DT uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack. The first step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After several incorrect attempts the drive will lock itself, requiring the drive to be plugged in again to input a PIN. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter PIN numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed PIN entries, the Padlock DT assumes it is being attacked and will destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset to redeploy the Aegis Padlock DT.

Auto Lock feature
The Aegis Padlock DT auto lock feature enables you to set the unattended drive to lock after a pre-determined amount of time of your choosing.

Wear Resistant Key Pad
Designed with protection in mind, the entire Aegis Padlock family incorporates ‘wear resistant’ keypads to hide key usage and avoid tipping off a potential hacker to the commonly used keys.

Variable Timing Circuit (VTC) Technology
Protection against hacker attempts doesn’t stop with Brute Force. Incorporated into the Aegis Padlock’s electronics is Apricorn’s Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, working to thwart “timing attacks” aimed at accessing the drive by studying the behavior and infiltrating the Padlock’s electronics.

High Quality Aluminum, Heat Dissipating Enclosure
The Aegis Padlock DT robust design has a solid aluminum enclosure which is ideal for whisking away heat from the rotating drive inside.

Green, Energy Efficient Drive
With reduced power consumption, the Aegis Padlock DT has a lower operating temperature than standard desktop drives. This results in increased reliability and low acoustics. In short this drive is cool and ultra-quiet.
