Apricorn Aegis Padlock A25-3PL256-500F 500 GB external hard drive

SKU CH-29KX-TZX37

Hardware-encrypted 500 GB desktop drive with keypad PIN access and 256-bit AES protection

  • Hardware 256-bit AES encryption protects data
  • On-board keypad unlocks without software
  • 500 GB capacity stores large files
  • USB 3.0 interface delivers fast transfer

Secure portable storage for sensitive data

The Apricorn Aegis Padlock A25-3PL256-500F is a 500 GB desktop external hard drive with a built-in keypad for hardware authentication. It uses 256-bit AES encryption to protect stored files without requiring software installation. The drive suits professionals who must keep confidential records safe while working across multiple computers.

Physical security limits and keypad dependency

Access relies entirely on the onboard keypad, so a forgotten PIN can render the 500 GB capacity unreadable. The 25-digit code space offers 256-bit strength, yet brute-force protection locks the drive after repeated failed attempts. Users who need remote unlocking or software-based key management will find those features absent.

Highlights

  • Hardware 256-bit AES encryption protects data
