Kingston IronKey S1000 Encrypted USB Flash Drive 4GB On-Device Cryptochip and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified - IKS1000B/4GB

If you value your privacy and want to keep data secure, this is the USB stick you need. This is used widely within Governments and even approved for Top Secret use or Nato Restricted levels. Easy to encrypt & decrypt + feels solid. Great value for the product and security you get.

Good USB. No issue at all

Bought the 4GB basic version - works as described for Windows and Mac computers. The metal case does get quite warm even if only used for a few minutes but otherwise a solid product.

The Iron key does what it says on the tin. A good product

If you want to store bitcoin and have a poor long term memory this is the product for you!

Its dead

Muito bom.

Très bien pour ceux qui sont sous Windows, mais c'est un calvaire pour ceux qui sont sous Linux. Le capuchon s'enlève également trop facilement et pourrait facilement être perdu.

I've owned and used this product for almost 2 years, so I think I'm well qualified to give my opinion of this flash drive. I bought it right here on Amazon. The reviewer who claimed it only had a couple hundred megabytes of memory probably didn't bother reading the instructions on how to properly set it up and use it. Unfortunately for reviews, that seems to be a common theme among purchasers and products. Don't assume! Take the time to learn how to properly use any item. The "security gate" system files that occupy only a very small amount of memory are all that are visible to anyone when first plugged into a computer. Once the secure password is entered properly during normal use or after initial setup, all 8 gigs are available and shown with dual drive letters, the system drive and the storage area drive. It allows you to select your preferred level of security to handle incorrect password attempts, either allowing unlimited reattempts or wiping of all data after the set amount of incorrect entries. You can also select during password entry, whether you want it to open the secure drive section as read only or fully read/writable. The price reflects the quality and security and is well worth it! It appears to be a precision machined aluminum outer body in a brushed finish with an integrated key ring loop at the opposite end of the removable cap. I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with this IronKey 8 gig flash drive and will definitely buy versions with higher storage as well.

Great security design and features: - FIPS 140-2 LEVEL 3 validated standard - Passphrase can be entered by onscreen keyboard with randomized layout (anti-keylogger/screencapture feature) - Can unlock in read-only mode - Can self-destroy with 10 wrong tries (bricks the device) - Fast data transfer (USB 3 speed) - Works with linux, mac, windows (can re-format NTFS if need large files) - Sturdy and heavy solid metal body Price: for personal use this device is expensive (even for an encrypted USB drive). But if you really need the security, or in an corporate environment, price becomes much more reasonable... when the data itself worth millions (or a security breach could mean a multi-million liability) is not logical to chose the cheapest device in the maket to save a few hundred (and risk millions). Backup: you MUST backup your secure files. This device, like all other storage devices, can malfunction; it can be stolen; it can self-destruct if 10 wrong pass; and you lose your data if another copy doesn't exist somewhere else (eg. your corporate servers). If you want to keep your secure files in USB drive ONLY (no cloud, no server), you can't buy just one; buy 2 (or more) of these devices, and replicate the same data on both (periodically, if data gets changed). Size: with such a price per/GB, could be tempting to buy the smallest size possible your date fits in. However, consider than most storage devices degrade performance (sometimes significantly) if they operate at full or very near full. Also, your data may grow in the future. So, even if I could barely fit my data into a 64GB version (that would be over 90% capacity) would be a poor choice for performance and data grow... so I got the 128GB version.

Ok
