Secure portable storage

The Apricorn Aegis Padlock is a 4TB external SSD built around a hardware keypad and 256-bit AES XTS encryption. It targets professionals who must protect sensitive data without relying on software utilities or host-system resources.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A interface, drawing power and transferring data through a single cable on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and Chrome devices. Its IP66-rated aluminum housing resists dust and water, so the unit survives field conditions that would damage standard portable drives.

Hardware encryption upgrade

This model replaces software-encrypted or unencrypted portable drives when compliance demands FIPS 140-2 validated security. The jump is worth it for users who need 100 percent hardware authentication, onboard PIN entry and plug-and-play operation on systems that cannot run encryption software.
