Defend your data with the Aegis Secure Key 8GB 3NX Encrypted USB 3.1 Flash Drive from Apricorn. Featuring read and write speeds up to 77 and 72 MB/s, respectively, the 3NX allows you to quickly import and transfer data. Additionally, this drive also sports hardware-based 256-Bit AES XTS encryption for protecting stored data. The polymer-coated keypad is designed to be wear-resistant, preventing buttons from betraying signs of repeated use, thus further protecting your login information from would-be compromises. Incorporating a small battery in its design, the drive allows a PIN to be entered prior to insertion. In the event of a brute-force attack, the Apricorn 3NX deletes its encryption key after a set number of failed login attempts.
Separate Admin and User modes on the 3NX allow for tailored access, including read/write or read-only modes. Both Admin and User modes require programmable PINs from 7 to 16 digits in length, and the PINs must be set up before using the drive, as it lacks a factory-default PIN. The Admin mode can be used to override user-set permissions, or to access User mode. Additionally, the Admin mode can be utilized to reset the drive, and an automatic lock feature secures the 3NX when removed from a USB port or during a period of inactivity. The Aegis Secure Key 3NX is deployed in an IP67 aluminum enclosure designed to ward off dust and water. Internally, the drive includes a hard epoxy resin intended to prevent tampering with the encryption circuitry. This USB drive requires neither drivers nor software and will work with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and Symbian operating systems.

This encrypted flash drive allows you to create a password (7 – 16 digits) that needs to be entered to access it’s contents. No device will recognize this flash drive unless the password is entered first. Though there is a simple set of instructions included on how to set Admin and User passwords, I found them a little difficult to follow. The manufacturer, Apricorn, has a YouTube channel. I recommend beginning with the video: Aegis Secure Key 3.0 Tutorial 1: GETTING STARTED. Apricorn’s YouTube channel also has easy to follow instructions on how to use the advanced security features of this drive. Once the drive is set up and you are able to open it, the Aegis Secure Key has a user manual in several different languages loaded on it. The Aegis Secure Key drive has a metal body and an internal rechargeable battery. It comes formatted for use on PCs and Android smart televisions. It comes with a thick rubber case that the drive slides into. I’ve only had mine for a two weeks. But haven’t encountered any problems with it. I recommend the Apricorn Aegis Secure Key.

I bought a pair of these to use as a password/credentials store, with one acting as a backup. This way I can keep my credentials for banking and so forth off my computer except when they are needed. Very happy with the ease of use. Nice product. Build quality seems to be fine.
