FIPS 140-2 validated 16 TB encrypted drive

The Apricorn Aegis Padlock DT is a 16 TB desktop hard drive with 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption. It targets users who must protect sensitive data without relying on software tools. The drive is validated to FIPS 140-2 and works across Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and Chrome OS.

Keypad authentication and epoxy-protected internals

A built-in keypad handles PIN entry before the drive mounts, so no host software is required. All internal components are covered in hardened epoxy and firmware is locked down to resist physical tampering and BadUSB-style malware. The drive connects through a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port for broad compatibility.

Check for a powered USB port and file-system support

The unit needs a powered USB port to operate, so verify your system or hub can supply enough current. Ensure the host device can recognise and mount a standard storage file system. No driver installation is needed, but the host must support USB mass-storage class devices.
