Secure 2 TB USB 3.1 drive

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 provides 2 TB of hardware-encrypted storage in a black aluminium enclosure. It uses on-the-fly 256-bit AES-XTS encryption and requires no software for authentication. The drive is USB 3.1 Type A and delivers up to 190 MB/s read and 160 MB/s write speeds. It suits users who need portable data protection across Windows, Mac and Linux.

Check host port and OS support

Verify that your system has a USB Type A port and can supply sufficient bus power for a 2 TB drive. No driver installation is required, but the host must recognise standard mass-storage devices. The Aegis Configurator utility is optional and runs on Windows; it is not needed for basic unlocking. Ensure your workflow does not depend on software-based encryption tools.

Rugged IP68 housing and FIPS validation

The aluminium casing meets IP68 for water and dust resistance, protecting the drive in harsh environments. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation confirms the cryptographic module meets stringent government standards. TAA compliance allows use in federal procurement. These certifications do not alter the drive's plug-and-play operation or its cross-platform compatibility.

Questions about this item

What is included with the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 2TB drive and what must be purchased separately?

The drive ships as a single USB Type-A flash device with on-the-fly 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption and IP68-rated aluminium housing. No cables, adapters or software licences are included; any USB-C adapter or extension lead would be a separate purchase.

Which capacity version of the Aegis Secure Key 3.0 should I choose for maximum encrypted storage?

The 2TB model provides the largest encrypted volume in this series, delivering 190 MB/s read and 160 MB/s write speeds over USB 3.1 while maintaining FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation and full cross-platform operation.

What do the 190 MB/s read and 160 MB/s write figures mean when the drive is used in a real computer?

Those are the peak sequential transfer rates the hardware can sustain over USB 3.1; actual throughput will depend on the host port, file sizes and encryption overhead, but the drive requires no drivers and works immediately on Windows, Mac or Linux.
