Apricorn 128GB Aegis Secure Key 3 NXC 256-Bit Hardware-Encrypted USB 3.2 Type C Flash Drive, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated (ASK3-NXC-128GB), Black

Got this to replace my aging Kingston DataTraveler secure drive, which had begun to show signs of battery health. It works identically, except that if you don't access it for a period of maybe 15 minutes or so, it automatically turns off, which gives you the "disk not ejected correctly" warning. No harm done though; it's just that my old Kingston never shut off from not being accessed. But I suppose this may be a security feature of the Apricorn (e.g., if you walked away from your computer and forgot the drive was open), so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Thus far this seems like a high quality product thats easy to use for most people. Im unsure on how long the memory will last but thus far it has worked just fine.

I’m happy to report that first of all, this product is made in the USA!I love the built-in keypad for the pass PIN. It allows the drive to be locked at a hardware level and also rids the need for installing software which can potentially be hacked.I use it with my iPad Pro and Macs. It works right out of the box on Apple systems, despite a note in the instruction sheet that you should format it for Macs first. No need to.Only minor con is the instructions are poorly written. But luckily the gizmo is really easy to use. Just know how to set the PIN and then how to unlock the drive each time. Once you know it’s intuitive enough.

We purchased this product to be in compliance with cyber security requirement for federal work not for everyday use. By the time we open the product, nothing worked but time has run out to return the product. We called its technical support, there's only answer machine. We can only email them and wait for their response. It is very disappointing to say the least.

It has simple instructions and like that its compatible multi platform since encryption is on the actual lockpad.

In general it is a good flash drive, though there are a couple of things that could be improved: first it would be nice if the case was hard, second the case comes off easily, third the case does not create a water seal, lastly, there is a gap in the molding of the flash drive itself, and potentially water could enter the flash drive, unless the insides of the flash drive are sealed. I guess everything I mentioned could be placed in the category of potential improvements or just a wish list.Update:Right after posting this review, lost drive’s case. Found it the next day in the drive way. The case does not stay on. If you don’t want to loose it gotta keep the flash drive in the bag.

I didn’t want anything with a potential fail rate such as fingerprint tech, security flaws like online codes and other hackable issues. These eliminates all those concerns, is insanely well made and works every time giving me piece of mind for my valuable documents such as my dissertation, credit card info, log in codes and more. Just get it

I need something to store important documents that I may need while traveling. This is the most convenient and secure solution.Seems sturdy enough and well constructed although I wish the case were metal instead of rubber.

Terrible really… suddenly after a few months of very light use, half the keyboard isn’t working and no way to access the data. It took us more than 10 emails to support to get a proper reply. Out of Australia, we need to ship it for assessment first and with our data on it before we get a reply. Despite the manufacturer fault, we’re still required to pay shipment to and from the US, ridiculous really. Looks elsewhere.

Perfect, as all products of this manufacturer.Too expensive compared to alternatives.Sad that this device has only one user pin code.It would be great to have the possibility to limit the use on some specific hosts for simple users, but it is not proposed by any manufacturer.

Excellent product

Très bon produit de bonne facture, revêtement agréable

I own a bunh of Apricorn, and so far only one failed on me.This is a new addition, a USB key, while all the others are HDD/SSHD/SSDVery easy to set up and use.NB: Keep in mind to get a USB extension cord, so you don't have to type the code while plugged-in as the pressure may damage your USB connector (both sides)
