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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most of the 8 gigs of memory is hidden until you securely unlock it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellant encrypted secure USB flash drive
*by B***B on March 18, 2019*

This is the last Ironkey secure drive made by Imation before they sold the Ironkey line, including inventory, to Kingston. It is USB 3.0. The S snd D 100s and 200s were USB 2.0. The case is steel. The silicone is encrypted and completely encased in epoxy, making it virtually impossible to saw the case without destroying the silicone. It is ptotected by a 15 character password. You can set it to either wipe or self-destruct if an incorrect password is entered from 2 to 10 (default) times. If it is set to self-destruct, an internal capacitor discharges and fries it when you exceed the allowed tries. There is. no way to recover a forgotten password. This version is unmanaged, so it never has communicate with a remote server. For most oeople, this is the only password manager you will ever need. It is small enough to putbonba keychain, but very heavy.
