Love this stick, fully secure (no back door as far as I know) and fully sable even in the hands of a non-techy like me. Easy to set up one's pass, just find a way to remember the pass or you are out of luck. Forced hack attempts, by authorities or by a thief wipe the stick with 8 failed hack attempts. Thus, one's pass need not be long or random so long as the pass does not parrot known public information like DOB, zip code,phone number and the like..

It had a lot of memory and we able send confidential information to our legal department, we did not have to worry about anyone using the information without the code.

Nice solution for storing sensitive information, and works on both Windows and macOS (No native Linux support). Build quality feels pretty good (not too much flex) and the cap shouldn't fall off. You can also attach the cap on the other end when in use so you don't lose it. There is a blue LED to indicate activity, but its not bright and shouldn't cause any issues. Kingston did a good job keeping it as user-friendly as it can be while still offering enhanced security for storing your data. When connected to your computer, it will first appear as a Disc named "IronKey Unlocker" which you can open by running autoplay or navigating to it and run it. You will be presented with a window to help you set it up. First you'll choose which authentication method you'd like to use: - Complex: 6-16 characters and at least 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, 1 digit, and 1 special character - Passphrase: 10 characters minimum I recommend using the Passphrase option because I don't think 16 characters is long enough, and the passphrase still supports all the same character types, so you can treat it either as a longer password, or a passphrase. There is also an option to a user password, so you can have both an admin and user password to use one as a backup. If you turn that option on you will then be prompted to set up a user password. There are also fields you can add contact information such as your name, a company and additional details (I did phone and email). These can be updated with the IronKey Unlocker application later. Once you have set up the drive, it will then mount the encrypted partition/drive and from then on it should act like a normal drive where you can copy files to it, edit files, etc. When you're done with the drive, make sure to eject it or use the IronKey Unlocker app and choose "shutdown". To use it on Windows or macOS (after initial setup) you simple plug it in, start the IronKey Unlocker application (if it doesn't start automatically) and enter your password/passphrase. It will then mount the data partition for you. When empty, the data partition had 7.8GB of usable space and is formatted FAT32. 7.8GB usable FAT32 (don't change it). Being FAT32 means that it will work well on both Windows and macOS, but will only allow files up to 4GB. I imagine for most people that won't be an issue as this isn't a drive for large file storage, but now you know. Speeds aren't very impressive, but they aren't terrible considering the focus on security with this drive. I attached the results of a benchmark so you can decide for yourself. Another nice security feature is you have the option to mount the data drive as read-only, which is handy when you don't want to modify anything on it, don't necessary trust the computer you are accessing it from, or in a situation where you know there is a virus or malware running. Overall this is a really nice, secure flash drive as long as you only need access on Windows or macOS. If you use this to backup important documents and the like, make sure you have another backup somewhere else too, just in case.

Review of Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50 8GB Encrypted USB | FIPS 197 | AES-256bit | BadUSB Attack Protection | Multi-Password Options | IKVP50/8GB I am a long-time user of IronKey flash drives and continue to use one that the original IronKey company sent me for beta testing. Short summary – device functions as described and is a solid way to safely and securely protect and encrypt sensitive data. One must pay a premium for this protection as well as the certifications and testing that this meets the high standard for storage devices (FIPS 197). This is what used to be called an IronKey basic in that it encrypts the data on the flash drive but does not include access to a secure VPN with double encryption and does not include an offline password manager. I can still use my old D250 IronKey for password generation and then backup the passwords to this device. The basic philosophy is that data is protected by multiple means. First, we have the secure encryption which almost everyone has heard of even if they do not understand how the actual encryption works. Secondly, access to the encrypted data requires two conditions – one must both possess the IronKey and then enter the correct password (and for this model a pass phrase is optionally allowed). Unlike the original IronKeys this version wipes all stored data after 10 consecutive password entry errors (the original used to break a small acid vial rendering the device unreadable and data inaccessible). Correct password entry before hitting the 10 error limit resets the counter to 10. Over the years many new features and controls have been added. Although not all of these are new features this latest version includes: 1. This IronKey operates closer to a normal flash drive in terms of not have to mount and dismount the drive and the user can simply use a password or a pass phrase to unlock the drive. 2. A virtual keyboard which is supposed to avoid the possibility of a keylogger capturing password entry. The virtual keyboard can be shuffled (keys are more randomly placed on the screen). 3. Administrative Controls which allow for administrator with a higher level of access and control and allow read-only access with password controls for a user. This also can be used for the administrator to recover from a user entering the wrong password 10 times and locking the data. I did not test this feature. 4. The Administrative Controls also can be used to force users to change passwords, etc. 5. Options for Read-Only mode when logging into the IronKey and read-only access can be specified for users in the Administrative Controls. Please also note that while any files are actually open on a computer they are decrypted. Any files that are automatically backed up when open would be saved locally without encryption. Although it apparently is not necessary with newer Windows systems, I further protect the IronKey by using Safely Remove Hardware And Eject Media just to be sure. Devices with this level of security and protection are too expensive to risk any possible file corruption. Windows 10 or 11 does not have some of the problems with Drive Letter Management (DLM) but the user guide flags this as a possibility. What happens when using this IronKey is that the Operating System first detects the IronKey and a Drive Letter is assigned for the unlocker. One then opens the unlocking software and enters their password (or pass phrase) which then cause the Operating System to connect to the encrypted files and folders (collectively called a “Volume” on the IronKey and the Operating System also assigns another Drive Letter to this Volume. One can semi-permanently keep the IronKey attached but not unlocked and also create shortcuts to start the launch operations. IronKey devices are not promoted the same way that the original was in terms of still working after being shot with a high-powered rifle, being run over by heavy machinery, repeated commercial laundering, etc. I do not know how well the Kingston versions survive such abuse. I have only one USB 3.2 Generation 1 Type A port but tested the speeds using CrystalDiskMark v. 8.0.4 and saw read/write speeds similar to those claimed by Kingston but results will vary. My primary use will probably be on a powered USB 3.0 port which is where I first set this up to test functionality. The suggested set up is to connect to a powered USB port. Depending upon the computer powered USB ports may appear in multiple locations although the rear USB ports are more likely to be powered. To further protect both the device and the computer I prefer to use USB extension cables. It is far cheaper to toss and replace the cable than to toss and replace the computer’s USB ports or the frequently attached and removed USB device (IronKey). The one thing that I do not like is that the controls do not state something similar to “Lock IronKey” and instead the option is to “Shut down VP50.” Something that came up with the original IronKey seems to have reappeared – a tether is provide but there is no provision to use the tether to retain the cap that protects the USB port when the IronKey is not in use.

I love Kingston because it has a proven track record of success. This is encrypted for my data protection, it has an FIPS 197 certification and is 256bit encrypted. It protects against bad USBs and brute force attacks. It gives you multiple password options for data recovery and has the latest and greatest technology protections built in, like dual read-only, write protect. It has speeds up to 250mbs read, and 180mbs write. If you are ever traveling with sensitive data, this is a must-have for things like Word, documents, pictures, spread sheets, etc. Depending on your needs would be dependent on many gigs you would want to get. I highly recommend.

I am always looking for USB drives to transfer data from multiple computers when accessing cloud storage is not available. Usually it is just word and pdf files, so nothing extensive to where I would need anything more than an 8GB drive. This works great for my needs. Kingston is a well-known brand as well.
