Questions about this item

What real-world speed does the USB 3.0 interface cap at for this Aegis Padlock drive?

USB 3.0 limits the Aegis Padlock to a theoretical maximum of 5 Gbps, so sustained transfers typically peak well below that ceiling.

What are the exact dimensions I need to clear for the A25-3PL256-S4000 to fit in my bag or dock?

The drive measures 8.00 inches long, 6.00 inches wide and 3.00 inches high, weighing .82 pounds.

How do I set up the hardware encryption on the Aegis Padlock, and what step do most people skip?

Enter the default admin PIN, then immediately create your own user PIN; skipping the user-PIN creation leaves the drive in admin-only mode.
