Apricorn 16TB USB 3.0 FIPS Validated Encrypted Drive

Secure high-value data without changing how teams move it. This Apricorn 16 TB external drive is built for organizations that need portable storage with validated encryption and a clear compliance story. USB 3.0 keeps connectivity simple across standard endpoints, while the 256-bit encryption design helps protect sensitive information during transport, staging, and offline retention. The large 16 TB capacity makes this model suitable for backup sets, evidence archives, media libraries, and other data-heavy workflows where both scale and control matter. FIPS validation adds confidence for environments with strict security requirements, including government, healthcare, finance, and enterprise operations that need to keep portable storage aligned with policy. Compared with lower-cost consumer drives, this class of device is chosen for the security layer as much as the capacity. It is designed for teams that need to move data between sites, store regulated content offline, or maintain a portable repository with stronger safeguards than standard external storage can provide. For procurement teams, that means one device can satisfy both capacity planning and security requirements.
