## Long description

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 USB flash drive 480 GB is a hardware-encrypted portable storage device with a USB Type-A interface. It provides 480 GB of capacity with high-speed transfers (read up to 195 MB/s, write up to 162 MB/s) and an integrated keypad for onboard PIN authentication. The drive is constructed with a durable aluminum housing, IP68 dust and water resistance, and epoxy-protected internals to resist tampering. The device is cross-platform compatible and operates without host-side software, performing 256-bit AES XTS encryption on the fly while at rest and in use. The AegisWare firmware implements administrative and user modes for configurable access control and supports FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated cryptographic protections.
Advantages
The Aegis Secure Key 3.0 offers software-free, hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encryption and keypad PIN authentication that excludes the host system from password entry, reducing exposure to keyloggers. Physical protections include hardened epoxy encapsulation of critical components, a crush-resistant aluminum body, and IP68 ingress protection for dust and sustained water immersion. Administrative features let administrators set global policies, enforce user enrollment, configure PIN length and retry limits, and perform mass configuration via the Aegis Configurator. The device supports automatic crypto-erase after configurable invalid PIN attempts and provides LED confirmation of keypad input.
Suitable for
Secure transport of sensitive files between systems
Fieldwork and travel where dust or water exposure is possible
Environments requiring hardware-based encryption and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation
Organizations needing centralized device configuration and user enrollment

How to use
Initialize the drive by entering Admin mode on the onboard keypad to set an Admin PIN and configure device policies such as minimum/maximum PIN length, retry limits, and read-only modes. If desired, configure the device for User Forced Enrollment so that each user must set a unique PIN before accessing stored data. To unlock the drive connect it to a powered USB Type-A port and enter the PIN directly on the device’s keypad; the drive remains invisible to the host until unlocked. Use the Admin mode to mass-configure multiple devices with the Aegis Configurator or a powered hub. To reset and redeploy the device, perform a drive reset which clears PINs, destroys stored data, and generates a new encryption key.
Usage recommendations
Set strong, non-repeating PINs within the administrator-defined length, enable User Forced Enrollment where appropriate, and configure an appropriate number of invalid attempt retries to balance usability and security. Keep administrative PINs and recovery PINs in a secure, separate location and use the Aegis Configurator for bulk deployments to ensure consistent policies across devices.
