The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key is a popular product out there. However, it doesn’t transfer at USB 3.0 speeds.
It transfers data to and fro at a decent speed. However, when it comes to flash drives with physical keys, it makes sense to buy a USB cable so that it’s easy to enter the PINs when connected to the PC. But the good news is that the keys are set a little apart, which makes it easy to press the keys. It costs almost twice that of the datAshur Pro 2, but it has solid features like a USB 3.0 port, AES 256 bit encryption, and a physical keypad. The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key is one of the expensive flash drives out there with password protection. This flash drive is quite popular on Amazon and has received praises from its user base for its durability and value-to-price proposition. While you do not get super fast speed, you can expect read/write speed around 130MB/s and 115MB/s on a USB 3.1 port. The read/write speeds are not bad either. It has an IP68 waterproof rating, so you are safe on that front as well.
That said, the combination of the AES encryption and the solid build ensures that the flash drive and the data inside it, stays safe. The only challenge you might face is to key in all the digits on such a small keypad. Unlike the one above, the PIN here is 7 digits, with none repeating in the code. The admin simply needs to create user codes for the user base. Perhaps what sets this flash drive apart from its peers is that several people can use it. While the data inside is protected via AES-XTS 256-bit encryption. The highlight of this flash drive is its solid build, which shields the body from external harm. This one is almost in the same price bracket and features a similar make and build. iStorage datAshur PRO²Īnother flash drive with physical keys is the iStorage datAshur Pro 2. Plus, the size is a little on the larger aide, which means if the USB ports are close to each other on your laptop, you won’t be able to use the adjacent ports. Unlike the one above, the Innoplus secure flash drive can’t be unlocked with software. It charges while it’s plugged in, thus removing the hassle of charging it separately. The flash drive automatically locks when you pull it out from your laptop. This flash drive has a built-in mechanism that prohibits you from entering passwords that can be cracked easily, such as 000 or 1234. All you need to do is press the password reset button for 5 seconds to set a new password. Setting the password is a straightforward affair. This one also uses AES-XTS encryption to encrypt the files inside.
And it’s through this keypad that you enter the password to lock/unlock the flash drive. The Innoplus Secure Flash Drive is a tad different from the flash drives above.
