Kingston IronKey D500S Hardware-Encrypted USB 32GB Flash Drive

The Kingston IKD500S/32GB is a 32 GB IronKey USB flash drive that keeps sensitive data locked down through XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption built directly into the device. Pending FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification adds the assurance required by government, military, and compliance-driven organizations.

A casing made of zinc gives the drive a structure that is waterproof, dust-tight, and able to withstand shock and vibration to the IP67 standard, so it can travel from the data center to the field without a second thought.

Security features extend well beyond encryption. Protection against BadUSB firmware attacks, automatic blocking of brute-force password attempts, and a Crypto-Erase option that destroys keys and data if a breach is detected all work together to safeguard information. Administrators can create separate User and One-Time Recovery passwords, and a Dual Hidden Partition keeps the most confidential files invisible unless the Admin unlocks them.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance delivers up to 310 MB/s read and 250 MB/s write, making large transfers quick even when encryption is active. The drive operates seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems without additional software, so users can move between platforms with ease.

From transporting classified documents to backing up legal evidence or patient records, the D500S provides a reliable, self-contained security solution. IT teams gain fine-grained control, while field personnel gain peace of mind that their data remains protected wherever the job takes them.
