    LOADING...

    The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key ASK3-240GB is a 240GB USB 3.0 flash drive with PIN access and hardware-based 256-bit AES-XTS encryption, suited to organizations and professionals who need to protect sensitive files on a portable drive.

    Recommended For

    • Teams carrying confidential files between offices or client sites who need the drive to stay encrypted and PIN-locked when unplugged, without installing encryption software on each computer.
    • Government, finance, healthcare, and other compliance-conscious staff who need portable storage positioned for sensitive data and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.
    • People who move files among Windows, Mac, and Linux computers and want to enter the PIN on the drive rather than depend on host-installed security software.
    • Mobile workers who carry a USB drive in a bag or field kit and value a dust- and water-resistant enclosure alongside PIN access.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • When moving sensitive work files between an office, home, or client computer, the user unlocks the drive with its keypad and accesses the files without installing decryption software on each computer.
    • For an offline copy of recovery keys or other essential documents, the user stores the files on the drive and keeps it locked when not in use, so the backup can be carried or stored separately from the computer.
    • When delivering sensitive files to an authorized colleague or outside party, the sender can transport the locked drive and share its PIN separately; the recipient unlocks it to access the files without needing the sender’s encryption software.
    • On a shared, isolated, or software-restricted computer, the user enters the PIN on the drive itself, then connects it as standard USB storage—useful when installing an encryption app on the host is not practical.
    • In an organization that requires FIPS-validated portable storage, staff can use the drive to carry sensitive files between approved systems; the validation may help meet a device requirement, but does not by itself make the overall workflow compliant.
