Apricorn announced upgrades to its Aegis Secure Key 3.0 (ASK3), highlighting submission for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation, a mini-SSD design supporting up to 2TB capacity, performance gains (up to ~31%), and a new environmental protection circuit that proactively shuts down the device outside safe operating conditions; the device retains hardware encryption, tamper-resistant construction, and software-free authentication for regulated and harsh environments.
