Very useful for my needs
This has been on my list for some time as a method to store and protect information. it is not the least expensive but well worth the cost. I like the fact that it is easily encrypted and protected by a simple set of numbers pw. It is light and comes in a package that makes it easy to travel from home to office and even vacations. If lost, everything is erased if an attempt is made to break into the ssd.The use of this drive is intended to assist me with the transition from old lap top to new and from storing everything locally to using this drive, as well as, a secure online storage system. There are so many options now for cloud storage that I would like to have the time to study the best options, before making the decision. Plus, I do not have to be "on line" in order to access my files, folder, music, etc. More and more is being saved on OneNote and pw protected there.Yes, I would purchase it again. But with less storage capacity - 256BG is enough.

Simple and Secure
This review is for a 512GB SSD Padlock USB 3.0 Purchased Feb 2020 used with Windows 10. I've been using Apricorn external drives for about ten years and they are essential for securing sensitive business data on the go. Every few years I purchase a new drive since the speed and capacity keep improving. I really like that these work via a pin and require no software drivers and can be locked with one button or unplugging. SSD performance is really good for an encrypted drive. The attached benchmarks were performed on a fresh drive and the read/write speeds are almost twice as fast as the previous generation of SSD padlock drives.

Security feature is the most attractive thing I think. Their customer support is very good. I have been very satisfied.

Great hardware security
This Device meets my quality expectation. I would have given it the five stars, but the usability is a bit tough. the learning curve is just a tad bit steep. i purchased this device for a client who travels alot and tends to loose stuff and they needed me to help them do setup.

Not Truly Bootable!!
It's super fast, and probably a great drive for a general-purpose user, but contrary to the advertised features, the device is not useful as a boot device for installing an operating system. I needed to use this device to install VMware esxi hosts, and windows server, and the device boots to a point, but once the installation routine does a plug-and-play / USB enumeration, the device re-locks itself.Apparently after much reading, there's another device sold by apricorn / aegis (a memory stick form factor) which DOES offer an "override" feature so I'll be trying out that device instead.

Works
Have to wait till the FBI and CIA come to call to know if it works like it is supposed to. The only thing I dislike is that thekeypad is inverted from a normal calculator set up, so u have to turn your "habits" off.

Four Stars
Cool device... a little pricey for basically an SSD hard drive.

Good Security
These Aegis disc drives work well - hardware security, can't be hacked even if stolen, passwrod can't be stolen by spyware or keyloggers on your PC.
