Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 60 GB AES-XTS 256-bit portable hard drive

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated USB 3.0 flash drive

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 is a 60 GB portable drive with on-the-fly AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. It targets professionals who must keep sensitive data offline and under physical PIN control. The device meets FIPS 140-2 Level 3 across 11 cryptographic areas including physical security and key management. No software installation is required for operation.

Software-free cross-platform USB 3.0 operation

The drive connects through a standard USB 3.0 interface and draws power from the host port. It works on any operating system that supports USB mass storage without drivers or administrator rights. The built-in keypad unlocks the volume before the OS enumerates the device, freeing the system from encryption overhead. No internal headers, cables or separate power adapters are needed.

Sustained hardware encryption under continuous load

AES-XTS 256-bit encryption runs inside the controller on every read and write, so throughput remains consistent during long transfers. The FIPS-validated design resists thermal and voltage tampering while the drive is active. Performance scales with the USB 3.0 bus rather than host CPU cycles, keeping latency stable across extended sessions. Capacity options extend to 480 GB for larger workloads.
