19Additional Features
The 2TB Aegis Padlock DT USB 3.0 External Desktop Drive from Apricorn is a secure desktop hard drive with on-the-fly 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption, PIN access, and a heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure.
The plug-and-play Aegis Padlock DT desktop drive boasts brute-force protection, the ability to wipe itself via a self-destruct PIN, and forced administrator and user enrollment. Its administrator feature allows enrollment of up to four unique user PINs and one administrator PIN, making it ideal for collaboration. The Padlock DT also features a wear-resistant keypad and a lock slot for additional security.
Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption
Featuring 256-bit hardware encryption, the desktop drive seamlessly encrypts all data on the fly, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.
Unlock the drive with your own unique six- to sixteen-digit Personal Identity Number (PIN). No security parameters are shared with host.
Allows for one administrator to set parameters for PIN management, read-only, auto-lock, self-destruct, lock-override, and brute force protection.
Programmable Minimum PIN Length
For added PIN length and enhanced security, minimum PIN length requirement can be increased from 6 characters up to the maximum of 16.
Admin and User Forced Enrollment
With no default factory pre-set PINs, the Admin and (if desired) the initial user must each first establish a unique PIN to access the drive.
In the event that a user PIN is forgotten, up to 4 one-time PINs can be programmed to permit access to the drive's data.
After a predetermined number (programmable; up to 20) of incorrect PIN entry attempts, the Padlock DT will conclude that it is under brute-force attack and will respond by performing a crypto-erase, deleting the encryption key and rendering all of the key's data useless.
Perfect for accessing data on the key in a public setting to protect against USB viruses. Particularly important in forensics, read-only mode is ideal for applications that require data to be preserved in its original, unaltered state and can't be overwritten or modified. The Padlock DT has two read-only modes. One is set by the administrator and can't be modified or disabled by anyone else. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be overridden by the administrator.
Defends against physically compromising situations by erasing the drive's contents, leaving it in normal working order and to appear as if it has yet to be deployed.
Locks automatically whenever it's unplugged from its powered USB port, and is further programmable to lock after a predetermined period of inactivity.
Designated for specific cases in which the drive needs to remain unlocked, such as during reboot, passing the drive through a virtual machine, or other similar situations that would normally prompt the Padlock DT to automatically lock. When enabled, Lock-Override Mode allows the drive to remain unlocked through USB port re-enumeration and will not re-lock unless power is interrupted.
Allows the drive to be cleared and redeployed. Capable of generating an infinite number of randomly generated encryption keys, the Aegis Padlock DT can be reset as many times as desired.
The cross-platform Aegis Padlock DT requires no software to set up or operate, making it ideal for corporate deployments.
Compatible with standard security locks, the Aegis Padlock DT's lock slot enables the drive to be secured to your desk or other permanent fixture for an added layer of physical security.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 / 3.0 Interface
Compatible with most computer USB ports or USB devices. Capable of data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s, USB 3.1 Gen 1 is synonymous with USB 3.0.
