Review on πŸ’Ύ Apricorn 2TB Aegis Padlock USB 3.0 SSD: Secure 256-Bit Encrypted Portable Drive (Black) by Jeffrey Kue

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simplicity and security on external SSDs

This review is for a 512GB USB 3.0 locked SSD purchased February 2020, used with Windows 10. I am using Apricorn external drives about a decade old and essential for protecting sensitive business data on the go. I buy a new drive every few years as the speed and capacity keep getting better. I really like that they work via a pin and don't require software drivers and that they can be locked or disabled with a single button. SSD performance is really good for an encrypted drive. Included testing was performed on a brand new drive and read/write speeds are almost twice as fast as previous generation padlockable SSD drives.

Pros
  • Compatible devices: PC, Mac, Linux, Unix
Cons
  • Gotcha
