💾 Apricorn 2TB Aegis Padlock USB 3.0 SSD: Secure 256-Bit Encrypted Portable Drive (Black) Review

This is super fast and probably a great drive for the average user, but contrary to the advertised specs it's not a good boot device for installing an operating system. System. I had to use this device to install vmware esxi hosts and a windows server and the device boots up to a point, but once the install process does a plug and play/usb enumeration the device reboots locked.

For a while, this method was on my list as a way to store and protect information. It's not the cheapest, but worth the cost. I like that it can be easily encrypted and secured with a simple set of PW numbers. It's lightweight and comes in a package that makes it easy to travel from home to the office and even on vacation.
