Secure 120GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The Adafruit Aegis Secure Key is a hardware-encrypted USB 3.0 flash drive offering 120GB of storage. It features on-the-fly 256-bit AES XTS encryption validated to FIPS 140-2 Level 3. A built-in rechargeable battery allows PIN entry via an onboard keypad before connecting to a host system, preventing keylogger interception. The epoxy-filled, IP58-rated aluminium housing resists dust, water and physical tampering.

Upgrade From Software-Encrypted Drives

This drive replaces standard flash drives or software-encrypted alternatives where PIN entry occurs on the host keyboard. The jump is worth it when regulatory compliance requires FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation or when physical tamper evidence via epoxy filling is mandated. Independent Admin and User PINs with drive reset and unattended auto-lock features support managed deployments in government or financial environments.

Suited For High-Security Portable Storage

It suits organisations handling sensitive data that need cross-platform compatibility across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Symbian without installing software. Buyers needing faster transfer rates than 195 Mbps read and 162 Mbps write should look at higher-performance secure SSDs. Users requiring capacities beyond 120GB or wireless unlocking methods will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.8" x 1" x .5" aluminum housing fit a standard USB-A port?

Yes, the USB 3.0 Type-A connector plugs directly into any powered USB-A port on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or Symbian systems without an adapter.

How do I set the initial 7-16 digit PIN before first use?

Press the unlock button on the drive, enter a new 7-16 digit PIN, press the button again to confirm, then re-enter the PIN to verify; the drive locks automatically when unplugged.

What happens if the internal rechargeable battery no longer holds a charge?

The battery is sealed inside the epoxy-filled compartment and cannot be replaced; the drive must be sent back under the three-year limited warranty for service.
