Apricorn 2TB Aegis Padlock DT Encrypted USB 3.0 Hard Drive

The Apricorn Padlock DT is a hardware-encrypted USB 3.0 desktop drive line that comes in a variety of storage capacities. Designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind, the Padlock DT offers unparalleled security. Its software-free design allows for deployment without the need for administrative rights, making it compatible with any USB-enabled operating system.

The Padlock DT features 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption, with the PIN number being authenticated via the integrated keypad. Each Padlock DT unit ships with a USB 3.0 cable, an AC adapter, a Quick Start manual, and is pre-formatted in NTFS. The Padlock DT is Aegis Configurator ready, allowing users to configure independent Admin and User PINs, as well as Recovery PINs.

One of the standout features of the Padlock DT is its useful drive reset feature, which clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be redeployed as needed. Additionally, the Padlock DT employs an unattended auto-lock, two read-only modes, a programmable brute-force counter, a lock override for remote booting, and a lock slot for securing the drive to a permanent fixture.

To ensure the highest level of security, the encryption chip and circuitry of the Aegis Padlock DT are completely protected by a super-tough epoxy compound, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the electronics. This means that all PINs, data, and the encryption key itself are encrypted, providing an additional layer of protection.

The Padlock DT's separate Admin and User modes, Aegis Configurator compatibility, forced enrollment for both Admin and User, and data recovery PINs, further enhance the security and versatility of the device. The programmable brute-force defense feature also adds an additional layer of protection, ensuring that the drive can withstand unauthorized attempts to access the data.

In conclusion, the Apricorn Padlock DT is a feature-rich and highly secure USB 3.0 desktop drive that offers unparalleled protection for sensitive data. Its hardware-based encryption, combined with its user-friendly design and robust security features, make it an excellent choice for individuals and organizations seeking a reliable and secure storage solution.
