Can the problem of data vulnerability at rest be solved by a piece of hardware?
Tough nut ; Very secure ; No need for software
Lack of on-board battery ; Drive unusable if USB cable is damaged ; Performance is hideous ; Very expensive
The Aegis Padlock SSD is one of the toughest and most secure drives on the market. It is expensive and slow, but otherwise fulfills the role of being an impregnable guardian of your data in a post-GDPR era.

It's not cheap, but Apricorn's Aegis NVX external SSD is secure, rugged, and speedy, making it an excellent repository for safeguarding your files on the go.

A remake of a secure solid-state drive that Apricorn has sold since 2010, the latest Aegis Padlock SSD offers enhanced speed and security in capacities ranging up to 4TB.

Apricorn's Aegis Fortress L3 has a sky-high cost per gigabyte of storage, but it's electronically and (pretty much) physically unbreakable. If you're looking for the ultimate in security in a portable drive, it's the Fort Knox of SSDs.
Expert review by : Joel Santo Domingo (pcmag.com)
Compact and rugged, the Apricorn Aegis Padlock SSD is ready to keep your mission critical data safe, especially when you're on the road. It's speedy and easy to use, but a high price will be a deterrent for many consumers and some businesses.

If data security is a concern, Apricorn's Aegis Padlock DT FIPS is a 4-terabyte encrypted external hard drive with multiple layers of security and features that make it easy to implement.
Expert review by : Joel Santo Domingo (pcmag.com)
If you're paranoid about letting your data fall in the wrong hands, or if you need to use biometrics due to company (or government) requirements, then the Aegis Bio 3.0 is a good choice for secure portable storage.

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key is the first PIN-secured flash drive we've tested that manages to maintain a svelte profile. It's a tad longer than a standard USB flash drive, but no larger in any other aspect. Despite its relatively diminutive size, the...
Integrated keypad ; Works with any OS or device
No FIPS 140-2 certification as of yet ; Slow performer
This slender keypad drive is secure and can handily be used with any operating system or device, but performance is subpar.

Since no software is needed, you can use the drive with any USB-capable device, regardless of the operating system. Windows, Mac OS, Linux—even a proprietary device with a proprietary operating system would be fine as long as it supports USB.
Encrypted USB unlocks with onboard PIN pad. Compatible with any operating system that supports USB. Slim design doesn't block ports. Unlimited encryption keys. Even fingernails leave no telltale trace on tough PIN pad keys
Manual as delivered contained a significant omission (since fixed). Setting Admin PIN is a tricky process
When this USB drive is locked, it's totally cut off, leaving no entry for a hacker. You unlock it using an onboard PIN pad that's designed to resist telltale scuffing of the keys you use. It needs no software and works with any operating system. It's a...
