The Aegis Bio 3.0 is a biometrically secure USB 3.0 portable solid state drive with on-the-fly AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. With secure fingerprint access you can unlock the drive with just the swipe of your finger. The Bio’s software free design works on any operating system, including PC, Mac or Linux. And with real world USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of up to 160 MBs you can now access your data faster than ever before.
Why use a Solid State Drive?
• 5X Greater Life Expectancy than Premium Rotational Drives
• Works in extreme temperatures
• Freezing temps of 5°F (-15°C)
• Searing temps of up to 130°F (55°C)
• Unaffected by high humidity
• Works in 95% humidity at temps under 131°F (55°C)
• Virtually shock and vibration resistant
• Rated to: Shock 1500G/0.5ms, Vibration 20G/20-2000Hz
• With no moving parts, the Aegis Padlock is completely silent
*Test results based on the 256GB Solid State model. To acheive these data transfer speeds, your computer's internal drive must be solid state. In the case of your computer having a hard drive, the speed will be limited by your internal hard drive speed.
Utilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm
On-the-fly 256-bit AES-XTS encryption seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive, protecting the drive even if it is removed from it’s casing.
Biometric Fingerprint Access
Once registered, just swipe your finger on the sensor for access to your files. Up to five fingerprint profiles can be stored and can be accessed without software on the host system.
The Aegis Bio’s unique Embedded Enrollment keeps all fingerprint enrollment and authentication within the Aegis Bio circuitry, independent of the host system. While other biometric drives use a CD emulation module or software on the host system for fingerprint enrollment, the Aegis Bio uses no software, enabling it to be used on any USB host regardless of OS.
The fingerprint sensor uses an Advanced live layer imaging technology to provide the most accurate fingerprint image possible, using a patented dual-plate active pixel design, superior to competitors that use only a single passive pixel design. The sensor uses three different sensing methods that penetrate outer layers of skin to read live layers under the skin (Anti-spoofing protection), meeting the stringent image quality requirements of NIST and the FBI, something that no other silicon fingerprint sensor has achieved.
Never forget your passwords again
Replacing passwords with fingerprint biometrics improves security since passwords can be lost or stolen, and users enjoy freedom from memorizing passwords.
Software-Free Design – With no admin rights to contend with the Aegis Bio is a breeze to implement
With no software installation for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Bio 3.0 provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. Users are able to use the Aegis Bio on any USB host making it ideal for those that use multiple devices and platforms.
Cross Platform Compatible
Due to its software-free design, the Aegis Bio will work on any operating system, PC, Mac or Linux
Compact, Rugged Design – Perfect for taking your data on the road
The Aegis Bio’s bus powered design is perfect for using with notebooks and taking your data on the road. Perfectly pocketable, the Aegis Bio’s compact, robust design protects the drive from drops and knocks. The convenient integrated USB 3.0 cable eliminates the need to carry around cords with you and allows you to be connected at the flick of a fingertip.
