Kingston IronKey D500S Hardware-Encrypted Managed USB 512GB Flash Drive

The Kingston IKD500SM/512GB is a managed USB flash drive with 512GB of space that locks every file behind hardware based XTS AES 256 bit encryption. Nothing leaves the device unprotected, so the moment you plug it into a computer your data is already secured at the chip level.

This model is designed for organizations that answer to strict compliance rules. It is on track for FIPS 140 3 Level 3 certification and works with SafeConsole, letting an administrator set policies, reset passwords, or perform a remote kill from a single dashboard. If the device ever falls into the wrong hands, a crypto-erase command can wipe the keys and render the contents unreadable.

The casing is made of zinc and is sealed against water to a depth of 1.2 meters under the IPX8 rating. It also resists dust and crushing forces, so it keeps working in field deployments, busy construction sites, or a commuter’s backpack. Dual hidden partitions give you a way to separate everyday files from highly restricted material, and you can turn on complex or passphrase style passwords to match company policy.

Speed is another advantage. Over a USB A 3.2 Gen 1 connection you can read data at up to 310 MB per second and write at up to 250 MB per second. Large project folders, high resolution media, and system images move quickly, which is useful for IT teams, legal firms, and healthcare staff who transfer files throughout the day.

Whether you manage a fleet of drives for a government agency, issue secure storage to remote employees, or carry sensitive presentations on business trips, the IronKey D500S gives you the blend of control, durability, and performance that modern data protection demands.
