Apricorn today announced the Aegis Padlock Pro, the latest addition to the Apricorn suite of hardware encrypted portable drives. Featuring a speedy eSATA and USB interface, on-the-fly 256-bit AES Hardware Encryption and secure PIN access, the Padlock Pro incorporates the latest in speed and security into a drive that can fit in your hand.
Available in capacities of up to 640GB and compatible with standard eSATA, traditional USB and the latest eSATA / USB Combo port (Power eSATA), the Aegis Padlock Pro can support eSATA data transfer speeds of up to 90 MB/s (using a traditional hard drive) and over 219 MB/s in its Solid State version.
With eSATA data transfer rates up to seven times faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives, the Aegis Padlock Pro’s superfast performance is comparable to that of your computer’s internal drive, enabling you transfer large files in seconds or quickly backup an entire system.
The Aegis Padlock Pro protects your data inside and out. Featuring an easy-to-use keypad design and software free setup, the Aegis Padlock enables drive access with your own unique PIN. Real-time 256-bit hardware encryption keeps data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure. In addition, the Padlock’s Administrator Feature allows enrollment of up to ten unique user IDs and one administrator, making it a secure business collaboration tool.
Featuring a robust design, the Padlock Pro’s regular model is available with a shock-mounted hard drive. For those requiring the ultimate in durability and speed, the Padlock Pro’s Solid State version is an ideal choice. Vibration resistant and able to work in extremes of heat, cold and humidity, the Padlock Pro SSD can go where other drives can’t. And if it’s speed you’re after, the Padlock Pro SSD clocks some of the fastest read / write speeds for available portable drives.
“Not only do employees in healthcare, finance and government need to protect sensitive data in order to meet compliance regulations like HIPAA, SOX and PCI, but so do the telecommuters and business traveler in all industries,” said Mike McCandless, Apricorn’s VP Sales and Marketing. “The Aegis Padlock Pro gives users the ability to safely transport data and add more secure capacity to their systems while harnessing the speeds that eSATA provides.”
