Im unsure on how long the memory will last but thus far it has worked just fine. Review: Excellent secure drive, made in USA! - I’m happy to report that first of all, this product is made in the USA! I love the built-in keypad for the pass PIN. It allows the drive to be locked at a hardware level and also rids the need for installing software which can potentially be hacked. I use it with my iPad Pro and Macs. It works right out of the box on Apple systems, despite a note in the instruction sheet that you should format it for Macs first. No need to. Only minor con is the instructions are poorly written. But luckily the gizmo is really easy to use. Just know how to set the PIN and then how to unlock the drive each time. Once you know it’s intuitive enough. ## Features - FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated (ASK3-NXC-32GB) - 256-BIT AES-XTS Hardware Encryption - USB 3.2 With Type C Connector - Separate Admin and User Modes - Software Free Authentication and operation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08D3BV13B | | Additional Features | Not_Performance_Used | | Best Sellers Rank | #280 in USB Flash Drives | | Brand | Apricorn | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Windows, Mac, Linux, and devices with USB Type C ports | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (203) | | Flash Memory Type | CompactFlash | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Item Type Name | usb-flash-drives | | Item Weight | 0.8 Ounces | | Manufacturer | APRICORN MASS STORAGE | | Memory Storage Capacity | 32 GB | | Model Name | ASK3-NXC-32GB 17686839 | | Model Number | ASK3-NXC-32GB | | Read Speed | 77 Megabytes Per Second | | UPC | 708326914994 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 Years | | Write Speed | 80-100 MB/s | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Apricorn - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 32 GB - **Special Feature:** Not_Performance_Used - **Write Speed:** 80-100 MB/s ## Images ![3NXC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oECHkBYoL.jpg) ![3NXC - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vHQa80YAL.jpg) ![3NXC - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LXurj-02L.jpg) ![3NXC - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VbYAT0aLL.jpg) ![3NXC - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OKbiTPNUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will encryption work if this is used in a Chromebook?** A: The encryption happens entirely within the external disk. As long as you unlock it before plugging it into the computer, the computer will see it as just another USB disk. It won't even know that the data on the physical storage within the disk are encrypted. If you don't unlock it first, it won't even tell the computer that it IS a disk. The computer's USB controller will probably feed it power, which it uses to charge its internal battery, but from what I've seen the primary operating system (macOS, Linux/chrome/android, or even windows if you're into that kind of self-abuse) won't even be aware that a device is plugged into the port. **Q: Would this be good for storing Bitcoin keys?** A: I use it to store my most secret items. It will definitely do the job for your Bitcoin keys, that is one of my closely guarded secrets also. The Aegis Secure Key 3 enables me to keep my secrets from the internet until I absolutely have to expose them. That’s why I have several different Aegis encrypted storage devices. They have served me well for the pass 8 years. **Q: What happens if the drive is formatted? Will this effect the encryption capability?** A: However you choose to format the drive is independent of the encryption capability. The drive is encrypted in the thumb drive hardware/firmware independent of the drive formatting. Generally you set up your encryption key, set whatever additional features you want to set, and then you format the drive for MacOS, for NTFS, for exFAT, etc. based on your specific needs. **Q: Are the backups immune from ransomeware** A: sophisticated malware like Locky and Crypto-ransomware are now targeting your backup data. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality easy to use *by G***C on May 19, 2025* Thus far this seems like a high quality product thats easy to use for most people.

Once you know it’s intuitive enough. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspires confidence *by A***R on January 12, 2024* Got this to replace my aging Kingston DataTraveler secure drive, which had begun to show signs of battery health. It works identically, except that if you don't access it for a period of maybe 15 minutes or so, it automatically turns off, which gives you the "disk not ejected correctly" warning. No harm done though; it's just that my old Kingston never shut off from not being accessed. But I suppose this may be a security feature of the Apricorn (e.g., if you walked away from your computer and forgot the drive was open), so it's not necessarily a bad thing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apricorn 32GB Aegis Secure Key 3 NXC 256-Bit Hardware-Encrypted USB 3.2 Type C Flash Drive, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated (ASK3-NXC-32GB),Black - Apricorn ASK3-NX 16GB USB 3.1 Encrypted Secure Drive (ASK3-NX-16GB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/227259749-3nxc](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/227259749-3nxc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
