Apricorn Encrypted External Hard Drive

Apricorn's Aegis Padlock 3.0 is a state of the art hardware encrypted USB 3.0 portable drive. Simple and easy to use, Padlock 3.0 offers unparalleled security and supports AES XTS 256-bit encryption. Additionally, the software free design means it can be deployed without the need for Admin User rights and will work with any USB enable operating system. Completely cross compatible, the Padlock 3.0 is authenticated via the integrated keypad and can support up to 5 User PINs and an Admin PIN. The Aegis Padlock 3.0 ships with Padlock 3.0 drive with integrated USB 3.0 cable, USB 3.0 Y-extension cable, Quick Start Manual and is pre-formatted in NTFS.
 
The Apricorn's Aegis Padlock is an ideal solution for secure external storage of your sensitive information. The drive measures just 3.25 x 4.5 x 0.75 inches, so it will fit in a pocket and is easily portable, while providing a large amount (2TB) of storage. Data on the drive is AES encrypted using hardware contained in the device itself, and secured with a 6 to 16 digit number that you enter via the keypad. The drives are available with less storage space (500GB and 1TB) for a little less money, however I recommend getting the 2TB drive to ensure that you have sufficient data storage space over time.  
 
While the AES 256 bit hardware encryption of the Apricorn Aegis Padlock is likely sufficient security for most purposes, You can also use a program like VeraCrypt to create additional secure containers on the encrypted drive. I have used the Apricorn Aegis Padlock with additional VeraCrypt containers to keep a back-up copy of my sensitive files for the past couple of years, and have not experienced any problems with the function of the drive or the security of the combined encryption.
