The Padlock 3 USB 3.0 is a secure, shock-resistant, and water-repellent high-performance flash drive designed for storing confidential and sensitive information. Files are protected from data theft by 256-bit AES hardware encryption and security protocols that meet government standards. The PadLocks are developed and manufactured by Corsair Components, Inc. The accompanying DataLock technology (patent pending) is licensed from ClevX, LLC. The rugged rubber casing is designed to withstand the elements: water-resistant and shock-absorbing. A built-in PIN pad means that no additional software is required. The Padlock is compatible with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux-based systems. It offers ultra-fast read and write speeds via USB 3.0 connection and is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and older standards.
