Secure portable storage for data protection

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3NXC provides 256GB of hardware-encrypted flash storage with a USB 3.2 Type C connector. It uses 256-bit AES XTS encryption to protect files without requiring software installation. The drive is designed for professionals who must keep sensitive data secure while moving between devices.

256GB capacity with USB 3.0 transfer speeds

The 256GB capacity holds large document libraries, project archives and media backups for mobile workflows.
