Kingston IronKey D500S Hardware-Encrypted Managed USB 32GB Flash Drive

The Kingston IKD500SM/32GB is a hardware-encrypted USB flash drive that pairs strong data protection with the convenience of a pocket-sized tool. With 32GB of capacity, it gives professionals an easy way to move confidential documents, design files, or project reports between locations without leaving security to chance.

Security sits at the heart of the drive. XTS AES 256 bit encryption runs entirely on the device, meaning the keys never touch the host computer. Administrators can enforce complex passwords or passphrases, while separate roles for an admin, a standard user, and a recovery account keep data accessible to authorized people only. Dual hidden partitions let you separate sensitive information from everyday files, and if the drive is ever lost or tampered with, a Crypto Erase command can wipe the encryption keys and make every byte unreadable.

The housing uses solid zinc alloy that resists crushing and withstands water immersion to a depth of 1.2 meters, earning an IPX8 rating. That durability makes the IronKey D500S a reliable companion on construction sites, in data centers, or during daily commutes.

When speed matters, the USB A 3.2 Gen 1 interface reaches read speeds of up to 260 megabytes per second and write speeds of up to 190 megabytes per second. Large media folders, database exports, or system images transfer quickly, so security never slows down your workflow.

For organizations that manage many drives, compatibility with the SafeConsole platform enables centralized oversight. IT teams can deploy policies, reset passwords, view audit logs, or trigger remote erasure from a single dashboard, making the drive an attractive option for enterprises, government agencies, and contractors who must meet strict compliance requirements.
