The drive isn’t recognized by any operating system when locked. Once the Aegis Padlock SSD is unlocked, you can copy data to and from it. The device comes pre-formatted in NTFS for Windows, so you will need to reformat it if using it on a Mac. There’s also a new Provision Lock feature which lets an admin 'lock in' a security policy, which prevents users overwriting admin-prescribed security measures, including stopping them changing programmable settings, permissions, and recovery PINs, without the admin PIN. It is possible to get another ten attempts (the process is described in the manual) but after this point the drive will delete all of the data on it. The device offers strong protection against brute force attacks - after three wrong PIN attempts it will add time delays, and after ten attempts the drive will lock. It's possible to create a self-destruct PIN as well which if threatened you can give to someone which will cause the drive to be wiped when entered. You can also set up one-time user recovery PINs, and set read-only or read/write modes for both admin and user. If other people are going to use the drive, you can add a user PIN which will give them more limited access. To access your drive’s contents at any time, plug it in (or press the red lock key), enter your admin PIN, and then press the green unlock button. It will stay this way for 30 seconds or until you press the red lock key. The green light will glow steadily for three seconds, then the blue light will indicate that the drive is in admin mode. When entered, press the green unlock button, enter the PIN again and press the green unlock button once more. This pin can’t be made up of one number, like '9999999', or all consecutive numbers, such as '1234567'. Enter an admin PIN of between 7 and 16 digits in length. This will cause the green light to start flashing. With the LEDs glowing solid green and blue, press the green unlock and 9 keys together. For security reasons, it doesn’t come with a default one. To get started with Padlock SSD, you just need to connect it to your computer, and then set up a PIN.
