Its rugged anodized aluminum body houses an on-device Cryptochip that detects tampering and protects data automatically. With blazing 400 MB/s read speeds and flexible multi-password options, it’s engineered for professionals who demand uncompromising data protection and performance on the go. ## Description Kingston’s IronKeyβ„’ S1000 meets the strictest standards to make it the ultimate security drive. Safeguard 100 per cent of confidential data with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, in XTS mode, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation with on-device Cryptochip Encryption Key management. The drive detects and responds to physical tampering and provides automatic data protection upon drive removal. For added peace of mind, the drive uses digitally-signed firmware that makes it immune to BadUSB. S1000 allows for two passphrase types: either a complex password or a passphrase up to 255 characters long. After ten invalid password attempts, Review: Most of the 8 gigs of memory is hidden until you securely unlock it. - 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 desertcart. 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. Review: Mostly fine, but these are Enterprise/Managed drives (??) - These drives mostly work fine, however, they are the Enterprise/Managed versions of ironkey drives. That means that as an independent user, it is impossible to initialize or administer them properly. Only an enterprise-level user with access to Kingston's "management console" can completely initialize the devices. Apparently the "console" itself was deprecated in 2023. I can lock and unlock them cleanly on Windows, but the Mac unlocker software from Kingston will not lock them properly on a Mac. We have to force-eject the secure partition, each time. Supposedly, Kingston does not consider this to be a "product defect" so there's no remedy for fixing this problem. Don't ask me why desertcart sent me Enterprise/Managed versions of ironkey drives. We aren't supposed to have them, but that's what they sent. The purchase date was several years ago, so the warranty has long expired. I can unlock the secure drives and write to them just fine. So the basic functionality is there. ## Features - On-device Cryptochip provides the ultimate layer of hardware security. - FIPS 140-2 Level 3 - Enhanced hardware-based security with XTS-AES 256-bit - Complex password or passphrase security - Rugged, secure casing in anodised aluminium ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01CH4DET0 | | Additional Features | Encrypted | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,127 in USB Flash Drives | | Brand | Kingston | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Mobile | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (106) | | Flash Memory Type | USB | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05056006147541 | | Hardware Connectivity Technology | USB Type A | | Hardware Interface | USB, USB 3.0 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 3.24"D x 0.83"W x 0.36"H | | Item Part Number | IKS1000B64GB | | Item Weight | 32 Grams | | Manufacturer | Kingston Technology | | Memory Storage Capacity | 64 GB | | Mfr Part Number | IKS1000B/64GB | | Model Name | IKS1000B/64GB | | Model Number | IKS1000B/64GB | | Read Speed | 400 Megabytes Per Second | | UPC | 740617255256 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 5 year limited, Limited warranty | | Write Speed | 300 MB/s | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kingston - **Hardware Interface:** USB, USB 3.0 - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 64 GB - **Special Feature:** Encrypted - **Write Speed:** 300 MB/s ## Images ![Kingston Ironkey S1000 64GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Multi-Password Security Options IKS1000B/64GB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L8hFLnDXL.jpg) ![Kingston Ironkey S1000 64GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Multi-Password Security Options IKS1000B/64GB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7108q-RZCKL.jpg) ![Kingston Ironkey S1000 64GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Multi-Password Security Options IKS1000B/64GB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Hi1HMVVWL.jpg) ![Kingston Ironkey S1000 64GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Multi-Password Security Options IKS1000B/64GB - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jnEXUiNcL.jpg) ![Kingston Ironkey S1000 64GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Multi-Password Security Options IKS1000B/64GB - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710hBTKxuJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most of the 8 gigs of memory is hidden until you securely unlock it. *by K***N on June 30, 2019* 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.
