Kingston Ironkey Keypad 200 USB-C 16GB Encrypted Flash Drive | OS Independent | FIPS 140-3 Level 3 | XTS-AES 256-bit | BadUSB and Brute Force Protection | Multi-Pin Option | IKKP200C/16GB

This was the answer to a long time security issue with my sensitive files. They are pricey but I expect them to last a long time. Once it's set up, it's a cinch. No prob.

Got this for a trip abroad and was very happy with it. Pretty easy to use and had plenty of storage for my documents. Very secure.

This is a great secure USB flash drive for keeping valuable files safe on the go. I like that it has a USB-C connector, which makes it really convenient to use with modern laptops, tablets, and my Android phone — no adapters needed.I use it interchangeably between my PC and phone, and it’s completely OS-independent, so I don’t have to worry about installing extra software. The physical keypad is easy to use and gives me extra confidence that my data is well protected, with strong XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.Although it feels a bit pricey for an 8GB drive, I trust Kingston and their IronKey line — they’ve always made durable, high-quality storage solutions. For me, the peace of mind is worth it. My data is valuable, and I trust this solution to keep it secure, especially with features like brute force protection and BadUSB safeguards.If you need a rugged, highly secure USB drive you can take anywhere without worrying about operating system compatibility or extra software, this is a smart investment. Highly recommended for anyone serious about protecting sensitive files while on the go!

Buttons small, I'm all thumbs sometimes. Secure and rugged enough so far.

It is an excellent encrypted USB drive, really it accomplished my expectations.

Could never get it to work. Code would not set. Count not return. Do not buy this product!

I’ve purchased two of these Kingston IronKey keypad 200 drives, one with USB-A in 64 GB and one with USB-C in 128 GB and they really are phenomenal to use, plenty intuitive, and very secure in my experience. I also bought the Apricorn on 8 GB to test it out and it’s essentially a clone of this Kingston drive however, I can say I prefer the Kingston IronKey to the Apricorn due to build quality, although they are very close in comparison, and the more updated protection the Kingston model has over the particular Apricorn I purchased. That may not still be the case so compare specs.I read several reviews on this IronKey and, unfortunately, nearly all of the complaints I read were from users who are having a hard time comprehending and using the technology and need a bit of hand holding through the setup and use process. It’s pretty obvious that many of them are memorizing the steps in the instructions to lock/unlock/read/write with this drive instead of understanding how it functions and the meaning behind the feedback it provides through its blinking or steady combinations of blue, red, and green lights. I’m not sure most of those users understand the difference in the drive being locked and charging, unlocked in read/write, unlocked in read only, unlocked in admin, or locked and in setup mode.Personally, I find this drive very easy to use and understand the mode it’s in. The instructions were simple and straightforward. I only wish the Kingston IronKey was made in the U.S. or basically anywhere other than China.

Great product. A little expensive. Would buy again.
