how to install Apricorn Aegis NVX 2 TB Portable Rugged Solid State Drive

• Unpack and connect: Use the included USB-C cable to connect the Aegis NVX to a computer with USB-C or a USB-A adapter. For best performance, connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port.

• Initialize or format (if needed): If the drive is brand new, you may be prompted to initialize or format the drive according to your operating system. Select the appropriate file system for your workflow (for cross-platform use, exFAT is a common option, but ensure encryption remains enabled).
• Configure encryption and access: Follow the on-device prompts to set a strong password or manager-provided access method. Store recovery keys securely and never share them publicly. This step ensures hardware encryption activates and protects your data at rest.
• Begin secure data transfer: Copy or move files to the Aegis NVX. For sensitive data, use approved transfer methods and verify your files after copy to confirm integrity.
• Eject safely: When your session ends, eject the drive from the operating system before unplugging to protect data integrity and the encryption state.
