Apricorn 2TB Aegis Padlock Fortress Encrypted USB 3.0 Hard Drive

Combining the highest level of data security, FIPS 140-2 Level 2, and the fastest USB 3.0 interface, the Aegis Padlock Fortress offers uncompromising security and performance. Featuring an easy-to-use keypad, no software installation for setup or operation, and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock Fortress is ideal for any environment.

The Fortress can be configured with independent Admin and User PIN's, allowing the user to access the drive with their own unique pin while the administrator can access the drive if the user leaves or set a new pin number should the user forget theirs. The embedded keypad prevents automated hardware and software key logging attempts to hack passwords entered via the host system.

Boasting 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock Fortress seamlessly encrypts all data in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the drive is removed from its enclosure. All data, pins, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest, and the circuitry of the Aegis Fortress is protected by a super tough epoxy, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing damage to the electronics.

With its compact design and integrated cable, the Aegis Fortress is the ideal drive to take on the road, eliminating the need to carry cords while traveling. Moreover, with USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to ten times faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives, the Aegis Fortress offers superfast performance comparable to that of your computer's internal drive, enabling you to transfer large files in seconds or backup quickly.

The Aegis Padlock Fortress employs a three-pronged approach to protect against brute force attacks. First, it denies access until the pin is verified. After several failed attempts, the drive will lock itself, blocking automated attempts to enter pin numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed pin entries, the Fortress will self-destruct the encryption key, rendering the data useless.

In summary, the Apricorn 2TB Aegis Padlock Fortress FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Validated 256-Bit Encrypted USB 3.0 Hard Drive with PIN Access (A25-3PL256-2000F) combines top-notch security, lightning-fast performance, and a user-friendly design, making it the ideal solution for safeguarding your data in any environment.
