Apricorn 10TB Aegis Padlock DT Encrypted USB 3.0 Hard Drive

Apricorn's Padlock DT is a hardware-encrypted USB 3.0 desktop drive line available in a variety of storage capacities. Offering unparalleled security, the Padlock DT features a simple, software-free design that allows deployment without the need for administrative rights, making it compatible with any USB-enabled operating system.

At the heart of the Padlock DT is its 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption, which authenticates the user's PIN number via the integrated keypad. Shipped with a USB 3.0 cable, AC adapter, and a Quick Start Manual, the drive arrives pre-formatted in NTFS and is Aegis Configurator-ready, enabling the configuration of independent Admin and User PINs, as well as Recovery PINs.

The Padlock DT also features a useful drive reset function, which clears all PINs and data, and creates a new, randomly generated encryption key, allowing the drive to be easily redeployed as needed. To further enhance security, the device employs an unattended auto-lock, two read-only modes, a programmable brute-force counter, and a lock override for remote booting. It also includes a lock slot, enabling the drive to be secured to a permanent fixture.

In addition to encrypting all PINs, data, and the encryption key itself, the Aegis Padlock DT's encryption chip and circuitry are completely protected by a super-tough epoxy compound, making it virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the electronics.

The Padlock DT's separate Admin and User modes, Aegis Configurator compatibility, and Admin and User Forced Enrollment features further strengthen its security capabilities. The inclusion of Data Recovery PINs and a Programmable Brute-Force Defense mechanism round out the drive's comprehensive security features, ensuring the protection of sensitive data against unauthorized access.

In summary, the Apricorn Padlock DT is a highly secure, hardware-encrypted USB 3.0 desktop drive that offers a user-friendly, software-free design, making it easy to deploy and use without the need for administrative rights. Its robust security features, including 256-bit AES XTS encryption, customizable PINs, and tamper-proof construction, make it an ideal choice for safeguarding sensitive data in a variety of professional and personal applications.
