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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not really bootable!

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. As for reading, there is another device sold by apricorn/aegis (memory card form factor) that offers an "override" feature, so I'll try that device instead.

Pros
  • Compatible with Aegis Configurator
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
