    Perfect Solution for a Mobile, X-Platform Encryption
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2017*

Perfect solution for a mobile, x-platform encryption. I purchased the Apricorn Aegis Padlock six weeks ago. I've used it almost daily on Mac OS (Sierra) and Windows platforms without any problems.This is a solid product. While relatively expensive in terms of the amount of storage (480 GB SSD), the encryption technology, x-platform abilities and superb construction make it a reasonably priced component of my overall security and privacy needs.
