Description
This item is brand-new, factory sealed.
Highest Capacities Out There.
The Ultimate Backup Device. Available in 10 Capacities Ranging from 2TB to a Whopping 22TB, The Padlock DT and DT FIPS are the Perfect Choice for Daily Backups and Multi-User Collaborations. Aegis Padlock DT / DT FIPS AES 256 Bit XTS Military Grade, Software-Free Hardware-Encrypted USB 3.2 Desktop Storage.
Go big.
The Padlock DT continues to set the standard for securing massive amounts of data in a standalone desktop device. Ideal for daily, weekly, and monthly backups, as well as serving as the "1" in the "3-2-1" data resiliency method. Additionally, the Padlock DT continues to raise the bar for introducing the highest storage capacities of any hardware-encrypted USB storage device.
Desktop versatility.
Available in 10 HDD storage capacities to align perfectly to your data storage requirements. Whether it's for daily use or long term encrypted archiving, the Padlock DT is large enough to handle the load, and small enough to carry in a laptop bag. Unlike the other Aegis Secure Drives, the Padlock DT is our only model that doesn't run on USB bus power, but rather, is powered via a 12v AC adapter (included).
OS agnostic.
Like all Aegis secure drives, the Padlock DT is software-free and completely hardware-encrypted, making it completely cross-platform compatible. With its numeric keyboard and internal encryption chipset, 100% of its authentication and encryption processes take place on the fly within the device itself. None of these processes involve, nor are they ever shared with any host computer.
FIPS or no FIPS.
Some industries and institutions (legal, medical, educational, healthcare, etc.) are required to incorporate FIPS validation in their encryption processes when it comes to protecting the client data they possess. Some industries aren't required. That's why we offer the Padlock DT in both FIPS and non FIPS versions. Either way, the internal components operate the same and the security levels are equal.
Aegis Padlock DT / DT FIPS
AES 256-Bit XTS FIPS 140-2 level 2 Validated Hardware-Encrypted USB 3.2 Gen-1 with Type A Connector. Durable Aluminum Outer Enclosure with 10k Press Tested Wear-Resistant Polymer-Coated Rubberized buttons. Software-Free / Locked-Down FIrmware to Prevent Introduction of Malware Such as Bad USB.
Separate Admin and User Modes / PINs
Admin (Device Configuration) Mode and User Access Mode. The Admin mode controls the universal programmable settings of the device and can only be accessed with the Admin PIN. The User mode is for general external drive usage like read /write, unlock / lock, and certain other functions. The User mode is accessible via a User PIN or the Admin PIN.
Admin Forced Enrollment
Eliminates factory default PIN vulnerability by forcing the enrollment of an Admin PIN prior to use. As with all Apricorn Aegis secure devices, there are no default passwords, and no backdoors. In order to use any Apricorn secure drive, the Admin must first establish a complex PIN.
User Forced Enrollment
Beyond the admin PIN, one additional PIN can be generated to access the device's data. This User PIN can be set up by the admin at initial setup, or the device can be deployed in a state of User Forced Enrollment, allowing the user to establish his or her own PIN prior to use.
