Aegis NVX™
AES 256 Bit XTS Military Grade
Hardware-Encrypted NVMe SSD with USB 10Gbs High Speed
Type-C Connector
Maximum Data Security at Breakneck Speeds
The next generation of Aegis Secure Drives incorporates all of the upper level security features you’ve come to expect from Apricorn with a patented proprietary NVMe architecture to deliver 256-bit hardware encryption at transfer speeds of up to 1000Mb/s.
Speed, Action.
Finally an encrypted hard drive that stays well ahead of your r/w speed
demands. Whether you’re pulling huge amounts of forensic data in a tight
timeframe or shooting at your HD Camera’s highest resolutions and fastest
frame speeds, all of your data is being encrypted on its path to storage at
speeds of up to 1000Mb/s. And with 5 available PINs, access to the device’s
contents is limited to those who are authorized within the workflow.
Built for Anywhere.
Smaller than most smartphones, the NVX is built to go wherever you do, fitting
right into your workspace; from your pocket, media case, backpack, and most
media storage cradles. Extreme temperatures, rugged terrains, and hard knocks
are what it’s made for.
Available in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities, the NVX ships with a molded
protective case (not that it needs one) a C-to-C extension cable, and a C-to-A
adapter/extension cable.
Serious Materials.
The crush-resistant enclosure is milled from solid 6061 aircraft-grade
aluminum alloy, with stainless breakaway fasteners and a new moisture
resistant rubberized keypad. Inside, the components are further protected with
hardened epoxy potting. The rugged integrated USB 10Gbs type-C connector cable
securely tucks away when not in use.
No Software, No Prob.
Apricorn’s unique hardware based approach delivers the highest levels of data
security and workflow compatibility. Like all Aegis secure drives, the NVX is
software-free and hardware-encrypted, making it completely cross-compatible.
100% of its authentication and encryption processes take place within the
device itself.
The Safest Place on Earth for Your Data.

Separate Admin and User Modes/PINs
Admin (Device Configuration) Mode and User Access Mode. The Admin mode
controls the universal programmable settings of the device and can only be
accessed with the Admin PIN. The User mode is for general external drive usage
like read /write, unlock / lock, and certain other functions. The User mode is
accessible via a User PIN or the Admin PIN. Up to four User PINs may be
enrolled.
Admin Forced Enrollment
Eliminates factory default PIN vulnerability by forcing the enrollment of an
Admin PIN prior to use. As with all Apricorn Aegis secure devices, there are
no default passwords, and no back-doors. In order to use any Apricorn secure
drive, the Admin must first establish a complex PIN.
User Forced Enrollment
Beyond the admin PIN, one additional PIN can be generated to access the
device’s data. This User PIN can be set up by the admin at initial setup, or
the device can be deployed in a state of User Forced Enrollment, allowing the
user to establish his or her own PIN prior to use.
Data Recovery PINs
Programmed by the admin at time of setup to permit regaining access to the
drive by creating a state of User Forced Enrollment in which a new User PIN
can be created without affecting the drive’s existing data or the Admin PIN.
Two Read-Only Modes
Universal Read Only: set by the admin from within the admin mode and can’t be
modified or disabled by anyone but the admin. The second (User) mode can be
set and disabled by a user but can also be enabled or disabled by the admin.
Programmable PIN Length
Admin Designates Minimum and Maximum PIN Lengths (between 7 and 16
Characters). The longer the PIN, the more secure the data on the device
becomes. For example, the odds of brute force success go from 1/10,000,000
with a 7-digit PIN to 1/100,000,000 with an 8 digit PIN. In cases where the
User sets up his or her own PIN from User Forced Enrollment, the Admin can
still affect User password length requirements
Unattended Auto Lock
Programmable Length of Time of Inactivity Permitted Before Drive Locks Itself.
All Aegis Secure Drives will automatically lock once disconnected from a
computer’s USB port or the power to that USB port is interrupted, or after a
pre-programmed period of inactivity.
Lock Override
Allows Drive to Remain Unlocked During USB Port Re-Enumeration (Virtual
Machine, Remote Boot). Designated for specific cases in which the drive needs
to remain unlocked through USB port re-enumeration such as during reboot, or
passing through a virtual machine.
Self-Destruct PIN
When Programmed and Activated, Performs a Crypto- Erase and Becomes New Access
PIN. The last line of defense for data security when the device’s physical
security is at risk. The Self-Destruct PIN defends against these physically
compromising situations by erasing the drive’s contents, leaving it in normal
working order appearing yet to be deployed.
Brute Force Defense
Programmable Number of Consecutive Invalid PIN Attempts Permitted (4-20)
Before Crypto-Erase. If the device comes under a physical brute force attack,
once the programmed number (between 4 and 20) of consecutive incorrect
password entries has been attempted, the device will delete its own encryption
key and destroy the ability to decrypt its stored data.
Provision Lock
Patented setting where the admin can designate whether the device will permit
itself to be reset by a User or after a brute force attempt. If Provision Lock
is enabled, any attempt at complete reset will “brick” the device for good.
