Review on πŸ”’ Apricorn 128GB Aegis Secure Key ASK3-NXC-128GB: Hardware-Encrypted USB 3.2 Type C Flash Drive with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validation Pending by Jack Bhowmik

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Has an internal battery that fails

These drives have a rechargeable battery that will annihilate you once it dies. You won't get any sign of life from him. If you're lucky and the battery runs out of charge, you'll have to plug it into the USB port for power, although the instructions say not to enter the key every time the drive is plugged in. This will work until he eventually dies without warning. Kind of kills the idea of having a reliable secure flash drive. And it's not cheap!

Pros
  • AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption
Cons
  • May damage
