## Description

Super tough, Ultra compact, and SSD Fast. IP56 certified against water and dust/ grit, with a crush-resistant aluminum enclosure and built-in USB 3.0 cable: The Aegis Padlock SSD software-free, 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encrypted, onboard keypad pin authenticated, 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.

It also thrives where software-authenticated encrypted devices can't even function, such as embedded systems, machines without a keyboard, and equipment in possession of a powered USB port and storage file system. All internal componentry is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy, and its firmware is locked down to prevent any modifications making it impervious to malware attacks such as.

Review: Great Portable Drive with Security Features - These are excellent drives. The padlock security is critical to protect the info that you need to store, especially if you are storing anything sensitive.
Review: Works as advertised! - Great performance for an encrypted drive. I get about 180MB/s transfer rate. The form factor is great too. Much smaller than I expected.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Portable Drive with Security Features
*by J***R on April 3, 2025*

These are excellent drives. The padlock security is critical to protect the info that you need to store, especially if you are storing anything sensitive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised!
*by A***H on March 13, 2016*

Great performance for an encrypted drive. I get about 180MB/s transfer rate. The form factor is great too. Much smaller than I expected.

### ⭐ Caused computer to lock up
*by A***Y on February 16, 2025*

I ordered this in November 2024. It worked great until this week - February 15, 2025 - (of course shortly after the return window closed!). It now locks my computer every time I plug it into the USB port. The drive appears to be mapping to the OS but it never gets there. When I ask File Explorer (Windows 10) to look at the drive, no files are shown and the computer continually searches for the drive. It is like it recognizes the drive is there but cannot show the files. Anyway, as it is now it is totally useless to me. Strongly recommend against this!
