Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.2 Type C connector work with my older USB 3.0 Type A ports?

Yes, the drive uses USB 3.2 with a Type C connector and is backward compatible with USB 3.0 ports via a suitable cable or adapter, maintaining hardware encryption across platforms.

How do I confirm the 256-bit AES-XTS encryption is active after entering my PIN?

The keypad LED indicators show authentication status; a solid green light means the drive is unlocked and all data is encrypted on the fly by the onboard hardware controller.

Does the 128GB drive include a USB Type C to Type A adapter in the box?

The package contains the Aegis Secure Key 3NXC drive only; a USB Type C to Type A cable or adapter must be purchased separately for use with legacy ports.
