USB drive recommandation

I agree with @pfm about the utility and ease of use of the Apricorn Aegis. I use that drive and Datalocker DL2 drives at work. I can’t really recommend one over the other, as they are both very convenient and effective.

To address @kieran’s concern over auditing, I can say that both drives are US DoD approved for transport of highly-classified data. Not being a subject matter expert in DoD procurement regulations, but working in cybersecurity, I don’t know that the military audited these drives, but I think it is almost certain that they have. Of course, that doesn’t mean average folks like us can audit them and your trust factor in the US DoD may vary. :grimacing:

Having said that, they are not inexpensive and I don’t really have that kind of cash to burn. LUKS is good for me, but if you value, and can afford, convenience, they are both good options.
