The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key ASK3-120GB is a 120GB USB 3.0 flash drive with PIN access, 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation, suited to organizations that need to carry sensitive files across Windows, Mac, or Linux systems.
Recommended For
- Government, finance, healthcare, or HR staff who need to carry sensitive files on removable storage with hardware encryption and PIN access built into the drive.
- Consultants and field staff who transfer confidential documents between Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, especially where installing host software is impractical.
- People who regularly carry sensitive files outside the office and want a compact drive with a built-in keypad, auto-lock, and a rugged, water- and dust-resistant enclosure.
- IT teams that issue secure USB drives to staff and need to configure PIN access, set security controls, or erase and redeploy a drive between users.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- A worker carries confidential business files between locations; they unlock the drive with its keypad, use it like a regular USB drive, and keep the data encrypted while it is locked.
- Someone needs to open files on different work computers, including one where they cannot install software; the keypad handles unlocking, and the drive works with compatible USB mass-storage hosts across supported operating systems.
- An organization gives an employee access to shared files without handing over drive administration; an admin PIN can control settings while a separate user PIN allows the employee to access the data.
- A user steps away while the drive is connected; if unattended auto-lock has been enabled, the drive can lock after a configured idle period, and removing it from the USB port also locks it.
- A technician or investigator needs to inspect files on a shared or public computer without changing the source data; setting the drive to read-only allows files to be accessed without writing changes to it.
