Aegis Padlock DT by Apricorn is a desktop encrypted storage device designed for sensitive information. It features 256-bit AES XTS encryption, onboard keypad PIN authentication, and ultra-fast USB 3.1 (3.0) data transfer speeds. All data is encrypted on the fly, and the PINs and data remain encrypted while the drive is at rest. Completely cross-platform compatible and OS agnostic, Aegis Padlock DT works with Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and Chrome. It also functions where software-authenticated encrypted devices fail, such as embedded systems or equipment with a powered USB port and storage file system but no keyboard. All internal components are protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy, and the firmware is locked down to prevent modifications, making it impervious to malware attacks like BadUSB. Featuring AegisWare™, Apricorn's patent-protected firmware combined with advanced features, Aegis Padlock DT ensures military-grade FIPS PUB 197 validated encryption. The device is designed and assembled in California, USA, and offers storage capacities ranging from 2 TB to 24 TB. It is equipped with a polymer-coated wear-resistant onboard keypad and supports independent Admin and User PINs, with Admin mode controlling device settings and User mode limited to basic functions like read/write and unlock/lock. The device includes a drive reset feature, self-destruct PIN, and brute-force defense mechanism, ensuring comprehensive data security.
