🔒 Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3 NX 128GB: High-Security USB 3.0 Flash Drive with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validation Review

As much as I love this Aegis flash drive I would like to start by saying that for the price it could do at least 16GB or 32GB. because storage costs have dropped significantly! Now for the rest of the review! You MUST read ALL instructions before attempting to use it. While reading the instructions, plug the device into the USB port and do NOTHING with it until you are done with the instructions. This gives the internal battery time to charge. Ease of use: After reading the instructions…

This device is advertised as having FIBS 140-2 encryption capability, but nowhere on the security key, box or manual does it say so. After calling Apricorn (good specialists are smart) the device is somehow ready to receive/receive FIBS 140-2 (Q4 2019 - but Revain's advert says Q1 2019?). Love this disc - works great with a handy lid - but had to return it for a secure key stating the disc, box and manual are FIBS 140-2.

When I bought this flash drive, I didn't realize it had a battery and needed to be charged. I ordered two and sent one back. I was planning on putting some files on it and keeping it in a safe. You can't do that with a battery. I kept the open one, but it's not convenient. The keys are small and I often have to enter the password multiple times to open it. It's not worth the headache.

I have bought four different types of these drives from Apricorn over the years and still use them all. As such, I'm a huge fan of these drives and find them invaluable for safely storing and backing up important business and family documents. I've never had a problem with any of these drives and they're all pretty easy to set up and use. I recently bought their latest 16GB NX model as one of my other drives was almost full. I've found a few things I like about the NX model, but also a few…

No problem with the product. It's just a password-protected USB stick. The instructions are very poor: 1. Good photo but important clues not identified2. Set/change password/add another user/upper and lower case are not taken into account3. Lock/Unlock/Use/Dismantle are not addressed in the correct order4. Poor English, like steady green/steady blinking etc. very confusing5. I bought two and plan to keep them for myself. The instruction does not correspond to the quality of iron6. The use of…

I bought older versions (USB 2.0) of Apricorn Aegis Secure Key in 2017 and 2016, keep all my accounts, passwords, scanned documents and all important files on these on USB sticks and so far they have proven to be absolutely reliable. Both devices still work great with the included batteries; However, given the importance of the data I store on it and the amount I use it, I decided to buy the third one as a backup, which I received on December 22, 2020. The new version (USB 3.0), NX, dongles…
