Look no further than the Aegis Padlock 3.0. Featuring your choice of AES-XTS 128-bit or 256-bit hardware encryption the Aegis Padlock 3.0 seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure. With a super speed USB 3.0 interface, you can now access your files faster than ever before. The Aegis Padlock 3.0 is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. With no software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock 3.0 provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. The Aegis Padlock 3.0 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. In addition to encrypting all of the PINs, data and the encryption key itself, the Aegis Padlock adds another barrier between a between your data and a hacker. The encryption chip and circuitry of the Aegis Padlock are completely protected by a super tough epoxy compound, which is virtually impossible to remove without damaging the drive.Apricorn 32GB Aegis Secure Key 3Z 256-bit AES XTS Hardware Encrypted FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive (ASK3Z-32GB)With software-free operation, cross-platform compatibility, USB 3.1 speed, advanced security features and Aegis Configurator compatibility, Apricorn's Aegis Secure Key 3Z takes data security to new levels of efficiency and affordability. This easy to use Drive incorporates onboard PIN authentication with 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption. The Drive is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated to meet U.S government standards for information security. FIPS Validation certifies 11 areas of cryptographic security including physical security, cryptographic key management and design integrity. The Aegis Secure Key 3Z was designed to work with the Aegis Configurator. This app allows the Administrator to configure 10 or more drives at once and automatically format / program features such as Admin and User PINs, PIN lengths, user forced enrollment, read-only mode, brute force protection settings, drive formats, and securely load files onto the drive during set up.The Aegis Secure Key 3Z is the most versatile encrypted drive available. It’s software-free and OS agonistic so it works with any system. The drive has a rechargeable battery which allows it to be authenticated and unlocked before it’s ever connected to its host. This onboard authentication circumvents all key logger software / malware tactics. None of its critical security parameters are ever shared with the host.The Drive can be configured with independent User and Admin PINs, making it ideal for corporate and government deployment. If the User forgets their PIN, the Admin can reset it for them without wiping out the contents on the drive. Aegis Secure Key further protects the data with a programmable "Brute Force Hack Mechanism" which deletes the encryption key and destroys the data if an incorrect PIN is entered more than the programmable limit is set to allow. Secure Key 3Z has many new features including user forced enrollment, two read only modes, lock override which keeps it unlocked through USB re-enumeration / reboot, one-time recovery PINs, user forced enrollment, and programmable PIN lengths. ## Features - Utilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm to securely protect data on the 500GB External Hard Drive. - Super fast USB 3.0 Connection on the External Hard Drive for data transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0. - The 32GB USB Flash Drive is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated to meet U.S government standards for information security. - High quality rugged aluminum housing on the USB Flash Drive makes it IP57 Water and Dust Resistant. - The External Hard Drive has a Brute Force Self Destruct Feature that destroys data if incorrect password is entered multiple times. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C1S96T1H | | Additional Features | Portable | | Brand | Apricorn | | Color | Black | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Flash Memory Type | USB | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0, USB 3.0 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 32 GB | | Model Name | Aegis Padlock 3.0, Aegis Secure Key 3Z | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Apricorn - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Hardware Interface:** USB 2.0, USB 3.0 - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 32 GB - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![Apricorn 500GB Aegis Padlock USB 3.0 256-bit AES XTS Hardware Encrypted Portable External Hard Drive (A25-3PL256-500) and Apricorn 32GB Aegis Secure Key 3Z 256-bit AES XTS Hardware Encrypted FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive (ASK3Z-32GB),Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Ys9WHmb3L.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/611944369-apricorn-500gb-aegis-padlock-usb-3-0-256-bit-aes](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/611944369-apricorn-500gb-aegis-padlock-usb-3-0-256-bit-aes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
