The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key ASK3-16GB is a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive with 256-bit AES encryption, suited to people who want to carry and transfer documents, photos, or videos with encrypted data protection.
Recommended For
- Professionals who carry a modest set of confidential work or client files between computers and want to unlock the drive with its built-in keypad rather than install security software on each host.
- Field staff or contractors who need to carry PIN-protected files between different USB-compatible computers or devices, including setups where installing a host-side unlock app is inconvenient.
- People who want a portable, hardware-encrypted place for a limited collection of sensitive documents, credentials, or project files—not a large media library or full-computer backup.
- Users who prefer entering a PIN on the drive itself and can keep track of it; Apricorn says forgotten PINs may make the data inaccessible and require a reset that erases it.
