Review: Apricorn Aegis Secure Key - I have had this Apricorn Aegis Secure Key for 5 years. It’s a great tool to have to secure any data you have. Never lost any data too. It’s small enough to take it with you knowing if anything happens you will always have it safe and secure. I’m using it on my Apple devices with no problems.
Review: Mauvaise expérience - Refus de rembourser un produit endommagé (confirmé par le service d'assistance Apricorn) après un composant défectueux dans la clé. On m'a demandé de renvoyer un produit endommagé (pour quoi faire lol ?) AVEC LA BOÎTE D'ORIGINE ? QUI CONSERVE LA BOÎTE D'UNE CLÉ USB ?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottima pendrive criptata.
*by P***O on 21 January 2021*

Mi serviva una pendrive criptata con un grado di sicurezza abbastanza elevato e dopo una attenta ricerca sul web e confrontando svariate recensioni ho optato per la Apircorn Aeigs ASK3-NX. La configurazione nonostante i miei timori è risultata abbastanza facile. La pendrive è totalmente in metallo e ha una copertura in materiale plastico. Il mio giudizio non può essere che positivo.
