Kingston Ironkey S1000 16GB Encrypted USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The Kingston IKS1000B/16GB is a USB 3.0 flash drive built for professionals who cannot leave data protection to chance. It provides 16GB of storage and uses XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption, so every file you save is secured the instant it reaches the drive.

An on-device Cryptochip handles the entire encryption process. Because the keys never leave the hardware, the data stays protected even if the drive is plugged into an unfamiliar computer. The unit carries a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, meeting demanding government standards that many organizations require for confidential information.

You can set a complex password or a long passphrase to unlock the drive, making it easier to create credentials that you will remember and harder for intruders to guess. The drive works without additional software on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, so you can move between office desktops, home laptops, and client machines without compatibility headaches.

The casing is made of anodized aluminum that stands up to daily knocks and bumps, while an operating-temperature range of 32°F to 158°F keeps the electronics reliable in offices, data centers, or field locations. Consultants, legal teams, healthcare staff, and anyone who travels with sensitive records will appreciate a device that combines rugged physical protection with strong encryption.

Fast USB 3.0 transfers help you keep projects moving, and a five-year limited warranty from Kingston backs long-term use. Whether you are archiving contracts, carrying medical data, or safeguarding personal backups, this drive delivers peace of mind in a package that fits on a keychain.
