## Description

Uncompromised data protection. Kingston IronKey S1000 is compliant with the highest standards, making it the most advanced safety unit. 100% protection of sensitive data with hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption, in XTS mode, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation, with Cryptochip encryption key management on the device. The drive detects physical intrusions, responding to them, enabling automatic data protection once the drive is removed. For added peace of mind, the drive uses digitally signed firmware, making it immune to BadUSB. The drive crashes after ten attempts to enter an invalid password, and there is also the option to reformat the drive or destroy it. Basic Model Available in capacities between 4GB and 128GB*, the S1000's Basic model reaches the characteristic speed of USB 3.0** and features enhanced hardware-based protection. Compliant with the strictest military-grade standards for strength and durability, the unit is constructed with an anodized aluminum housing and epoxy-filled housing. Dust and shock resistant, the S1000 is waterproof and compliant with MIL-STD-810F standards. Enterprise Model In addition to the Basic model's features, the Enterprise version of S1000 incorporates a centralized management function for access and use of thousands of IronKey Enterprise drives, thanks to its intuitive, simple and secure online interface. *** Using an activated license and IronKey EMS platform from DataLocker, the unit works with on-premises or cloud-based servers to remotely implement passwords and access policies. In addition, it allows users to recover lost passwords, and administrators to take advantage of drives that are no longer in use. * Some of the capabilities mentioned in Flash storage devices are used for formatting and other functions, therefore they are not available for data storage. For this reason, the actual data storage capacity is lower than that indicated on the products. For more information, see the Kingston Flash Memory Guide. ** Speed may vary due to host, software and usage features. *** Enterprise model only. DataLocker IronKey EMS, purchased separately.

Review: 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
*by S***N on 24 January 2020*

Der Stick sieht super aus und ist sicherlich auch sicher. (Das erfährt man natürlich erst nach einem erfolgreichen Hack). Leider ist der Support seitens des Herstellers schon kurz nach dem Erwerb eingestellt worden. (das war sicherlich in Insiderkreisen schon vorher bekannnt). Daher ist m.E. der Preis für ein "Auslaufmodell" eindeutig zu hoch. Durch den Verlust des Support ist das Teil leider schon altes Eisen (Iron), zumoindest aus meiner Sicht.
