We all have USB drives in our house, and we can have all kinds of files and documents there, sometimes very normal but sometimes private or important. To do this, Kingston has released a device with NASA level security with which no one but you can see or reveal what this memory contains.
If you have ever searched for how to put a password on a folder or directly on a flash drive, keep reading because this device is much better than all that. You will have included it directly.
IronKey 200 Keyboard
Its name is this, and its developer, how could it be otherwise, if we are talking about a flash drive, is Kingston.
Its operation is very simple, a USB memory like any other, but with the particularity of having security options that the others do not have.
The first and most important is its alphanumeric keyboard which we can easily see. This will help us, as you can guess, to unlock data access with a password previously set by us.
Its keyboard is also safe because it has anti-fingerprint technology so that there are no marks on the buttons that we usually use and therefore do not give hints about the possible PIN code.
It has an interesting function and that is that if we are wrong 10 times in a row with the password, the administrator will have to change it from his profile, and if he cannot restore it with his password, the flash drive will delete all data permanently. Something to keep in mind because we can transport information very securely with this device, but it is not the best place to leave something if we do not have a copy made elsewhere.
You also have the option of configuring it so that once you have entered your data, the flash drive is only used for reading, never for writing, thus avoiding possible problems or errors that could delete its content.
The quality of its materials is also a point in favor. It is made of metal that is resistant to shocks, scratches and falls.
Features
Regarding its technical data, we are talking about a USB 3.2 that has a capacity of 8 GB up to 128 GB and the readings of 145 MB/s. They are not the best on the market, but sufficient for this type of device.
The Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 features XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption for added security, as well as a built-in battery that charges when connected to a USB port.
It should be noted that it obviously acts like any other memory and therefore you can use it on any device that accepts it. From MacOS to Windows, but also to watch a movie on a TV. Except for your safety, it is exactly the same as another.
Speaking of price, it can be found in several ranges, depending on the storage you want. But I already tell you that it goes from 90$ for its 8 GB version to 200$ for the highest capacity (128 GB)
You can find it in several stores, as well as on Amazon by following this link.
