LENOVO Aegis Apricorn Padlock 3.0 500GB 2.5" Rugged external HDD, Black

The Lenovo Aegis Apricorn Padlock 3.0 500GB Encrypted HDD is a portable drive designed for hardware-based data protection. Accessing the files requires PIN authentication via an integrated alphanumeric keypad. Because the drive bypasses software-based security, it operates independently of the host computer’s operating system. Data is protected by 256-bit AES-XTS encryption, which secures files while the device is being transported. The drive uses a mechanical 2.5-inch disk spinning at 5400 RPM, and the controller includes built-in brute-force protection to prevent unauthorized access.

The interior is epoxy-coated and tamper-resistant to protect internal components from physical interference. The drive connects via the included USB Type-A cable, drawing power directly from the connection bus. Its plug-and-play design eliminates the need for external power adapters or proprietary drivers. The drive is compatible with legacy systems, including Windows XP, Vista, and 7, as well as Mac OS 10.2. It functions in relative humidity levels of up to 95 percent, and its black finish is suitable for professional environments.
