Hardware-Encrypted 64 GB Flash Drive
The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3 NXC provides 64 GB of storage protected by 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption. It connects via USB 3.2 with a Type-C connector and requires no software for authentication. The drive holds FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation pending.
Suited for Regulated Data Handling
This drive suits organisations and individuals who must meet strict data-protection mandates and prefer PIN-based, software-free operation. Separate Admin and User modes support managed deployments. Buyers who need higher capacities or a Type-A connector should look at other models.
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated Encryption
The single specification that determines suitability is the FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption engine. It guarantees the drive meets the cryptographic module requirements mandated for many government and enterprise contracts.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum throughput of the USB 3.2 interface when the drive is under continuous load?
The USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C connector delivers up to 5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth; sustained write speeds will be limited by the internal flash controller and thermal envelope of the metal casing.
Does the aluminium housing stay cool and silent during all-day encryption workloads?
The drive has no fan or moving parts, so it is completely silent; the metal body acts as a heatsink and becomes warm but not hot during extended read or write sessions.
Which host port is required to use the Type C connector on this drive?
A USB Type C port is needed; if your device only has Type A sockets you must supply a Type C to Type A adapter or cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds.
