Apricorn, a developer of personal data storage technology, has announced the availability of new larger storage capacity offerings from their Aegis Bio line of biometric hard drives. The original Aegis Bio offerings had a storage ceiling of 250 GB, however the new offerings add on a 320 GB, 500GB and a 640 GB drive to the line of offerings.
The Aegis Bio touts two layers of protection with the first being a biometric lock on the data requiring an authorized user’s fingerprint swipe on the embedded fingerprint sensor as well as 128-bit AES hardware encryption of the data that is contained within the drive. The embedded fingerprint sensor on the drive comes from biometric technology developer UPEK.
