It combines an integrated USB 3.0 cable - increasing data transfer speeds by over 500% over the USB 2.0 version, enhanced AES-XTS hardware encryption, software free design, plus new security features to create a data storage device for taking data on the road.

Available in capacities up to 1TB with either a ruggedized, shock mounted hard drive (prices start at $169) or with a tough SSD (prices start at $199), the Aegis Padlock 3.0 provides data security.

"With the addition of USB 3.0 to our Aegis Padlock drives, we are now able to benefit from improved hard drive and SSD performance. We have also added other enhancements including allowing the drive to be used as a boot device," said Mike McCandless, VP of Sales and Marketing. "This convergence of super fast performance and powerful data security is something that we couldn't wait to provide to our customers."

Protection from Unauthorized Access
easy to deploy, simple to use

Onboard Alphanumeric Keypad for Secure Access - Unlock the Aegis Padlock with a unique 6-16 digit PIN. The embedded keypad prevents hardware or software malware attempts to capture your password entered via the host system.
Military Grade AES-XTS Hardware Encryption - All data on the drive is protected in real-time using AES-XTS 128-bit or 256-bit hardware encryption. Encryption keys and PINs are never exposed to the host system and are protected using SHA-256 hashing cryptographic algorithm.
Software Free Design - With no admin rights to contend with and no software or drivers to install, it can work with any USB enabled OS, including Windows, Mac and Linux.

"Our customers asked and we listened," said Mike McCandless, VP of Sales and Marketing. "Our new security enhancements, including an easy to set auto-lock feature and convenient drive reset makes our Aegis Padlock even easier to deploy and manage in corporate settings. Combine this with our software free design and ability to work on any OS, and you have a secure and scalable data storage solution."
