Cable Control With Apricorn's Aegis Vault

Integrated cables are catching on: Apricorn's Aegis Vault, shipping soon, also has a built-in USB cable that runs the length of the drive. The cable neatly snaps into the chassis for storage and easy portability; the cable is fairly short, so you may need to use the included USB extension cable, depending upon your system's physical setup. Unlike the competition's software-based encryption, the Aegis Vault offers real-time AES 128-bit hardware encryption. Using the included software, you can create password-protected encrypted partitions, as well as unencrypted public partitions. Apricorn says its unique 16-point omni-directional shock mounting system protects against impacts. The drives come in 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, and 250GB capacities, ranging in price from $139 to $269.
