Here's to the Next Ten
When first introduced in 2010, the Padlock SSD was designed to be a workhorse, delivering reliable SSD data security in an enclosure that could stand up to extreme weather conditions, hard knocks, and drops. Now with a super fast chipset, a more robust keypad, and greater storage capacities, the Padlock SSD reasserts itself as the clear choice for compact, durable data protection exactly where you need it.
Double Down on Speed
The Aegis Padlock SSD portable secure devices now feature next-generation chipset, generating speed increases of roughly twice that of its predecessor. Coupled with the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, the Padlock SSD can deliver data transfer rates of up to 350MB/s, depending on file types, and its host computer's internal drive type.
Works Well with Others
Like all Aegis secure drives, the Padlock SSD is software-free and completely hardware-encrypted, making it completely cross-compatible and OS-agnostic. Since 100% of its authentication and encryption processes take place on the fly within the device itself, none of the CSPs are ever shared with its host computer. The Padlock SSD even works with systems that don't have a keyboard.
Pocket Full of Data
With more than 5 storage capacity options, you can fit as much as 4TB in a device that is smaller and thinner than a deck of playing cards. Its pocket-sized, tamper-resistant enclosure is crafted from extruded, powder coated aluminum with a medical grade membrane style keypad, resistant to wear and abrasion.
Separate Admin and User Modes / PINs
Admin (Device Configuration) Mode and User Access Mode. The Admin mode controls the universal programmable settings of the device and can only be accessed with the Admin PIN. The User mode is for general external drive usage like read /write, unlock / lock, and certain other functions. The User mode is accessible via a User PIN or the Admin PIN.
Admin Forced Enrollment
Eliminates factory default PIN vulnerability by forcing the enrollment of an Admin PIN prior to use. As with all Apricorn Aegis secure devices, there are no default passwords and no backdoors. In order to use any Apricorn secure drive, the Admin must first establish a complex PIN.
User Forced Enrollment
Beyond the admin PIN, one additional PIN can be generated to access the device's data. This User PIN can be set up by the admin at initial setup, or the device can be deployed in a state of User Forced Enrollment, allowing the user to establish his or her own PIN prior to use.
Data Recovery PINs
Programmed by the admin at the time of setup to permit regaining access to the drive by creating a state of User Forced Enrollment in which a User PIN can be created without affecting the drive's existing data or the Admin PIN.
Two Read-Only Modes
Universal Read Only: set by the admin from within the admin mode and can't be modified or disabled by anyone but the admin. The second (User) mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be enabled or disabled by the admin.
Programmable PIN Length
Admin Designates Minimum and Maximum PIN Lengths (between 7 and 16 Characters). The longer the PIN, the more secure the data on the device becomes. For example, the odds of brute force success go from 1/10,000,000 with a 7-digit PIN to 1/100,000,000 with an 8-digit PIN. In cases where the User sets up his or her own PIN from User Forced Enrollment, the Admin can still affect User password length requirements
Unattended Auto Lock
Programmable Length of Time of Inactivity Permitted Before Drive Locks Itself. All Aegis Secure Drives will automatically lock once disconnected from a computer's USB port or the power to that USB port is interrupted, or after a pre-programmed period of inactivity.
Lock Override
Allows Drive to Remain Unlocked During USB Port Re Enumeration (Virtual Machine, Remote Boot). Designated for specific cases in which the drive needs to remain unlocked through USB port re-enumeration such as during reboot, or passing through a virtual machine.
Self-Destruct PIN
When Programmed and Activated, Performs a Crypto-Erase and Becomes Access PIN. The last line of defense for data security is when the device's physical security is at risk. The Self-Destruct PIN defends against these physically compromising situations by erasing the drive's contents, leaving it in normal working order appearing yet to be deployed.
Brute Force Defense
Programmable Number of Consecutive Invalid PIN Attempts Permitted (4-20) Before Crypto-Erase. If the device comes under a physical brute force attack, once the programmed number (between 4 and 20) of consecutive incorrect password entries has been attempted, the device will delete its own encryption key and destroy the ability to decrypt its stored data.
Provision Lock
The patented setting where the admin can designate whether the device will permit itself to be reset by a User or after a brute force attempt. If Provision Lock is enabled, any attempt at complete reset will "brick" the device for good.
Aegis Configurator™ Compatible
Windows-Based App that Quickly Sets Up Multiple Devices Simultaneously. Create custom profiles and mass configures multiple devices in a matter of seconds using the Aegis Configurator. To configure an expanded number of devices, use the Powered Aegis Configurator Hub bundle.
Padlock SSD's encryption module meets NIST's requirements for FIPS 140-2 Level 2 while delivering a level of advanced read/write speeds, all within a rugged aluminum exterior in a compact size.
