Secure high-capacity desktop storage
The Apricorn Aegis Padlock DT is a 16TB external hard drive with hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption and FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation. It connects via USB 3.0 and uses a 3.5-inch form factor requiring external power. The integrated keypad allows PIN authentication without software installation on the host computer.
Replaces unencrypted portable drives
This drive upgrades from standard external storage that relies on software encryption or offers no protection at all. The jump is worth it when regulatory compliance or data-sensitivity mandates a validated hardware encryption module. It is not suited for users who need bus-powered portability or solid-state speeds for active workloads.
16TB capacity with 8MB cache
The 16TB volume comfortably handles large media libraries, full system images and long-term archival sets. Sequential transfers are limited by the USB 3.0 interface and mechanical throughput, so sustained write-heavy tasks such as video ingest or database replication will saturate the link before the media fills.

Questions about this item
What desk space does the 1.50" x 4.50" x 7.20" enclosure need?
The drive occupies a footprint of 4.50 by 7.20 inches and stands 1.50 inches tall, so allow that area plus cable clearance on a stable surface.
How is the USB 3.0 drive installed and what step is often missed?
Connect the supplied power adapter, link the USB 3.0 cable to the host, then enter your admin PIN on the built-in keypad to unlock the hardware-encrypted volume before the OS can see it.
When will the internal 3.5" 16TB mechanism need replacement?
Mechanical 3.5-inch drives typically last three to five years under desktop workloads; plan to migrate data and replace the unit once SMART attributes show reallocated sectors or rising error counts.
