  • Hardware encryption protects data with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation
  • On-device keypad unlocks the drive without any software installation
  • USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface delivers up to 300 MB/s read speed
  • 240 GB solid-state capacity stores large files in a compact form factor

Secure portable storage

The Apricorn Aegis Padlock delivers 240 GB of solid-state storage in a USB 3.1 Gen 1 enclosure with a built-in hardware keypad. It targets users who need hardware-encrypted, driver-free protection for sensitive data while travelling or working across multiple computers.

Thermal and power profile

With no moving parts and a maximum read speed of 300 MB/s, the drive runs silently and stays cool during normal file transfers. It draws power directly from the USB 3.0 Type-A port, eliminating the need for an external adapter and keeping desk clutter to a minimum.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 256-bit AES engine encrypts every byte on the fly, maintaining full throughput during long copy sessions without thermal throttling. The FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated design ensures the encryption boundary remains intact even under continuous heavy I/O.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Apricorn Aegis Padlock 240GB drive and what step is commonly missed?

Connect the USB 3.0 Type-A cable to your computer; the drive powers on automatically. The step users often miss is entering the admin PIN on the built-in keypad before the operating system can see the 240 GB volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the Apricorn Aegis Padlock 240GB drive need later?

The solid-state drive has no moving parts, so no mechanical maintenance is required. If the NAND wears out after heavy write cycles, the entire unit would need replacement; there are no user-serviceable components inside.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the Apricorn Aegis Padlock 240GB drive?

Continuous transfers are capped at the 300 MB/s maximum read speed of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface; thermal throttling on the controller may reduce throughput further during prolonged heavy workloads.
