The Kingston IKD500SM/256GB is a hardware-encrypted USB flash drive that offers 256GB of secure storage alongside built-in management capabilities. It safeguards every file with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption and is on course to achieve FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, giving organizations confidence that sensitive information remains private even if the drive is misplaced.
The device uses a casing made from rugged zinc that withstands water, dust, and crushing forces, so field engineers, traveling professionals, and emergency responders can rely on it in demanding conditions. Should the drive fall into the wrong hands, a quick Crypto-Erase command can delete the encryption keys, ensuring no data is left to recover.
Password flexibility helps both end users and administrators. You can choose a traditional complex password or a full passphrase, and the multi-password design keeps an extra administrative login available for recovery. Two hidden partitions add further protection by placing highly confidential files out of sight, even when the main partition is unlocked.
When dozens or hundreds of drives need oversight, SafeConsole integration allows IT departments to enforce policies, push updates, and reset credentials from a central dashboard. Finance, healthcare, government, and legal teams that face strict compliance requirements will appreciate the detailed audit trail and reduced risk of data loss.
Despite its focus on security, the IronKey keeps work moving quickly. USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity delivers read speeds up to 240 MB/s and write speeds up to 170 MB/s, so large presentations, design files, or encrypted backups transfer without slowing down day-to-day workflows.
