A little bit pricy, but we’ll worth it for the incredible security and ease of use ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 January 2018* Easy to use, works with any Operating System. I use it on my Chromebook without difficulty. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super secure but device does heat up a lot *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 August 2018* Does exactly as it ssays on the tin. Very easy to setup and use. As the keys are relatively stiff you are unlikely to accidently enter wrong codes while the device is in your bag. Only downside: it really heats up when connected. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apricorn 32GB Aegis Secure Key 3Z 256-bit AES XTS Hardware Encrypted FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive (ASK3Z-32GB),Black - Apricorn ASK3-NX 16GB USB 3.1 Encrypted Secure Drive (ASK3-NX-16GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/50175092-apricorn-aegis-secure-key-3z-32gb-256-bit-aes-xts](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/50175092-apricorn-aegis-secure-key-3z-32gb-256-bit-aes-xts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
