Ideal for travelling professionals, auditors and anyone who needs to move sensitive documents between devices, this flash drive fits easily into a pocket or badge holder and works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and many embedded systems.

Benefits of Apricorn Flash Drive

• Cross-platform: Works on all major operating systems without additional software.
• Tamper-resistant: Hardened epoxy coating shields internal components from physical attacks.
• Brute-force defence: After a set number of wrong PIN entries the drive erases its encryption key, preventing data theft.

Apricorn Flash Drive Advantages

Choosing this flash drive means you get enterprise-grade security without the complexity of software installations. The device stays invisible to the host computer until you enter the correct PIN, so it cannot be accessed by malware or accidental plugging.

Because the encryption is performed entirely in hardware, you enjoy faster transfer speeds - up to 77 MB/s read and 72 MB/s write - while the drive stays up to 25 % cooler than comparable models. The aluminium body and water-resistant coating add durability for everyday use in demanding environments.
