Apricorn Expands Aegis Padlock AES-Encrypted HDD Series with 750 GB Models

Apricorn expanded its Aegis Padlock series of secure portable hard drives with two 750 GB models, one with 128-bit AES and the other with 256-bit AES encryption for a very high grade of data security. Measuring 19 x 84.5 x 120 mm, these drives have a keypad that lets users key in an alpha-numeric PIN. The drive also "self-destructs" (destroys the encryption key and permanently locks the data), when it senses a brute-force attack to gain access to sensitive data. The drive has an 8 MB cache, and uses USB 2.0 interface with a retractable cable. Backed by a three-year warranty, the Aegis Padlock 750 GB with 128-bit AES is priced at US $179, and with 256-bit AES at $199.

Apricorn Introduces the Aegis Padlock DT Secure Drives

Apricorn (www.apricorn.com), a leading designer and manufacturer of data security products for business, has expanded their award winning Aegis Secure Drives to the desktop environment with the announcement of a new, powerful desktop edition, the Aegis Padlock DT.

Sporting a spacious capacity of up to 3 TB with a Super Speed USB 3.0 interface, the Aegis Padlock DT not only provides immense storage and lightning fast access speeds, but also protects its data with seamless AES-XTS hardware encryption and secure PIN access. With its software free design, simple setup and starting price of $229, the Aegis Padlock DT provides a complete data storage solution that is affordable, secure and effortless to deploy in a demanding office environment.







"On site data security is just as critical as a firewall protecting a company's network, customer records and other sensitive files," said Mike McCandless, VP of Sales and Marketing at Apricorn. "With several high profile cases of hard drives being stolen or missing from an office, or sensitive data being accessed by unauthorized personnel, the need for a high capacity secure desktop drive was apparent."

Protection From Unauthorized Access

- Alphanumeric keypad for secure access - The Aegis Padlock DT uses an onboard keypad to unlock the drive with a unique 6-16 digit PIN. The embedded keypad prevents hardware or software malware attempts to capture your password entered via the host system.

- Military grade hardware encryption - All data on the drive is protected in real-time using your choice of AES-XTS 128-bit or 256-bit hardware encryption. Encryption keys and PINs are never exposed to the host system and are protected using SHA-256 hashing cryptographic algorithm.

- Auto-lock - The unattended Aegis Padlock DT can be configured to lock after a pre-determined amount of time of your choosing. Ideal for protecting your data when you're away from your desk.

- Brute Force Defense Mechanism - Protecting against automated attempts to crack the drive's PIN, the Aegis Padlock DT uses a three pronged approach to protect itself from hackers; after denying access to incorrect PINs 5 times, the DT requires the drive to be disconnected and reconnected to the USB port. Once the maximum number of failed attempts has been reached the Aegis Padlock DT deletes the encryption key rendering all stored data useless and requiring a complete reset of the Aegis Padlock DT in order to redeploy the drive.

Perfect for Corporate Deployments

Simple to deploy and manage in corporate environments, the Aegis Padlock DT can be configured with independent Admin and User PINs. If the user forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked using the Admin PIN. The Aegis Padlock DT also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.

Software Free Design - With no Admin rights to contend and no software or drivers to install, the Aegis Padlock DT can work with any USB enabled OS, including Windows, Mac and Linux.

USB 3.0 Super Speed connection - with data transfer rates of up to 10x those of USB 2.0 devices, you can access your high capacity hard drive faster than ever.

Aluminum Enclosure with Wear Resistant Keypad - With a solid aluminum heat dissipating enclosure the Aegis Padlock DT is able to whisk away heat from the rotating drive inside. In addition, the Aegis Padlock's wear resistant keypad hides key usage, avoiding tipping off a potential hacker to the commonly used keys.

Available in 1, 2 and 3 TB capacities, the Aegis Padlock DT provides a powerful data security solution for the office. For corporate and government customers, Apricorn also provides a free corporate evaluation plan, enabling IT security professionals to fully assess the Aegis Padlock DT as it pertains to their company's security strategy.
