Apricorn ASK3Z-128GB 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive

Secure USB flash drive with hardware encryption

The Apricorn ASK3Z-128GB is a 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive built for users who require certified data protection. It features 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation. An embedded keypad requires a 7 to 16 digit PIN for access, enforcing user enrollment before first use. The rugged aluminium housing meets IP57 water and dust resistance.

Replaces unencrypted or software-only drives

This drive upgrades storage that relies on software encryption or no encryption at all. The jump is worth it when regulatory compliance demands FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation across 11 cryptographic areas. Hardware-based encryption removes the performance overhead and vulnerability surface of software solutions. Two read-only modes add protection against malware writing to the device.

Check USB port and admin rights before ordering

Verify your system provides a standard USB Type-A port for the USB 3.0 interface. Initial PIN enrollment and optional Aegis Configurator setup require local administrator privileges on the host computer. The drive operates software-free once configured, but the host must allow USB mass storage devices. No external power adapter is needed.
