## Long description

The Apricorn Aegis Fortress L3 is a hardware-encrypted external HDD offering 2 TB capacity, housed in a rugged enclosure and compatible with USB Type-A to USB Type-C connections. It uses a hardware 256-bit AES XTS encryption engine with onboard keypad PIN authentication and supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) transfer speeds. The drive is software-free, cross-platform and designed to meet NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements for portable devices, providing secure on-the-fly encryption while remaining compact enough for pocket or briefcase transport.
Advantages
The Fortress L3 combines a durable, impact-resistant enclosure with an ultra-fast encryption chipset to deliver high-capacity secure storage. All encryption and PIN handling are performed in hardware, so no software installation or host-side drivers are required. The unit supports large capacities up to 16 TB in the product family, provides full disk AES-256 XTS encryption, and maintains encrypted data and PINs at rest. It also works in environments where software-authenticated devices cannot, including embedded systems with only a powered USB port and file system access.
Suitable for
Transporting and storing sensitive business or personal data
Use with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and Chrome systems
Fieldwork and mobile use where ruggedness and hardware security are required
