Unlocking an AEGIS Encrypted Hard Drive

Unlocking an AEGIS Encrypted Hard Drive

When postally transferring documents, it is best practice to use a Bitlocker-encrypted hard drive.  However, under some circumstances, such as if the recipient has an Apple/MAC, you may need an alternate encryption device.

For these scenarios, we highly recommend AEGIS hard drives.

To UNLOCK an AEGIS hard drive, do the following:
1.  Connect it to a computer using a USB connector.
2.  Press the UNLOCK button.
3.  Type in the access code.
4.  Press the UNLOCK button again.

The hard drive will now be accessible to the computer it is connected to.
