Secure desktop storage
The Apricorn Aegis Padlock DT FIPS is a 2000 GB desktop external hard drive built around 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption. It targets professionals and organisations that must protect sensitive files such as customer records or proprietary data without relying on software utilities.
Silent operation with no active cooling
The unit contains no fan and draws power only when connected to its external supply, so it adds no audible noise to a quiet office. Encryption and decryption occur inside the controller, leaving the host system’s CPU and power budget untouched during normal file transfers.
Hardware PIN entry and brute-force defence
A built-in keypad lets administrators and users set independent PINs, while a programmable brute-force counter locks the drive after repeated failed attempts. The Aegis Configurator utility can manage policies, and FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation confirms the cryptographic module meets the 140 standard.

Domande su questo articolo
How do I install the ADT-3PL256F-2000 and what is the step people often miss?
Connect the drive to your desktop via its interface, then enter the Admin PIN on the built-in keypad to unlock the 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption before the drive becomes visible to the operating system.
What maintenance or replacement will the ADT-3PL256F-2000 need over time?
The mechanical hard drive inside may eventually require replacement after years of continuous desktop use; keep the Admin and User PINs recorded so a new drive can be configured with the same FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated security settings.
What limit appears first on the ADT-3PL256F-2000 during sustained heavy use?
The internal mechanical drive’s sustained transfer rate becomes the bottleneck before the 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption engine reaches its throughput ceiling during prolonged large-file operations.
