apricorn 2tb aegis secure key 3Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, 256-bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted USB drives, today announced the release of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Aegis Secure Key 3 2TB encrypted flash key. Designed for organizations that need large amounts of encrypted storage with a minimal footprint, the new 2TB Aegis Secure Key 3 is the industry's first hardware-encrypted flash key of this size, marking a time-honored tradition of innovation from Apricorn. Currently, the Aegis Secure Key 3 has eight capacity options ranging from 16GB to 2TB, pricing from $129.00 – $999.00 U.S.

The Aegis Secure Key 3, originally introduced in 2015, was the first Apricorn device to feature AegisWare™, Apricorn's patent-protected firmware that first introduced Forced Enrollment, Programmable PIN lengths, Unattended Auto Lock and Lock Override. At 256GB, this original version was already double the storage capacity of any encrypted flash key on the market. Fifteen months later, that maximum size doubled to 480GB, and again doubled to 1TB in November of 2018. Seven years after its initial launch, the Aegis Secure Key 3 has been adopted in myriad government, military, and corporate environments and remains Apricorn's fastest, most rugged flash key in the line.
