Secure 30GB portable storage

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 is a 30GB USB 3.0 flash drive built around hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption. It targets professionals and privacy-conscious users who must keep sensitive documents, photos or videos protected while moving them between workstations. A built-in keypad allows PIN-authenticated access without installing driver software on the host machine.

Aluminium body with keypad entry

The rugged black aluminium casing resists everyday knocks and drops while housing the physical keypad used to unlock the drive. A SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connector delivers up to 195 MB/s read and 162 MB/s write performance for quick transfers of large files. The drive auto-locks when removed from the USB port or after a period of inactivity, preventing accidental exposure if left unattended.

Cross-platform downloadable software

Password security software is available for download and supports Mac, Linux, PC, Symbian and Android, extending management options beyond the hardware keypad. No additional cables, adapters or power supplies are bundled; the drive draws power directly from the USB port. TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and regulated-sector procurement.
