Kingston Ironkey Keypad 200 USB-C 64GB Encrypted Flash Drive | OS Independent | FIPS 140-3 Level 3 | XTS-AES 256-bit | BadUSB and Brute Force Protection | Multi-Pin Option | IKKP200C/64GB

This is a great secure USB flash drive for keeping valuable files safe on the go. I like that it has a USB-C connector, which makes it really convenient to use with modern laptops, tablets, and my Android phone — no adapters needed. I use it interchangeably between my PC and phone, and it’s completely OS-independent, so I don’t have to worry about installing extra software. The physical keypad is easy to use and gives me extra confidence that my data is well protected, with strong XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification. Although it feels a bit pricey for an 8GB drive, I trust Kingston and their IronKey line — they’ve always made durable, high-quality storage solutions. For me, the peace of mind is worth it. My data is valuable, and I trust this solution to keep it secure, especially with features like brute force protection and BadUSB safeguards. If you need a rugged, highly secure USB drive you can take anywhere without worrying about operating system compatibility or extra software, this is a smart investment. Highly recommended for anyone serious about protecting sensitive files while on the go!

If you're looking for a basically unhackable storage device to keep your files secure then look no further! I have a few of these & they're all top notch. I haven't found a single flaw with the fit & finish of these. They're pretty easy to set up, even though at first glance the directions seem complicated. If it's confusing, their YouTube videos demonstrate the setup quite well. Their built to thwart being compromised at every level. Inside the aluminum shell the electronics are encased in epoxy, which makes it nearly impossible to get down to the circuitry in an attempt to compromise it. The keypad makes brute forcing the device impossible, & with only 10 chances to get it right, it'd be very unlikely anyone could guess their way in. Basically as long as you store your password in a secure manner (ideally only in your head), then you can bet nobody is gaining access to this storage! In a world teeming with hackers, unethical big tech, tyrannical gov'ts & nosy gov't agents, this device is the only true means of keeping your files truly secure! That's why it's worth every penny!

Only wish is a lower price, but you get what you pay for! Didn't realize it included an admin PIN capability. Very useful. Not going to drive a truck over it, but very solid construction.

Don't use the QSG, you need to find a full user guide that explains to LEDs, and have to set to pin You must set the PIN before you ever plug it into anything, and once you do it is transparent it does not require any software. If you don't set the PIN it won't be recognized as a USB drive by anything. Works fine for me on Windows 10, and all my Samsung phone.

Item came on time and working well.

From Encrypted USB functionality, this is a great device! The keypad is very useful, you dont need to run an OS specific application to decrypt the drive. It is easy as entering your code combination Reliability is an issue. Today, my USB drive was accidentially dropped and the top portio of the drive was fully detached. It seems that the housing construction gets very brittle over a period of time. Not recommended

Works exactly as it is supposed to do. However, the instructions on the package says absolutely nothing about how to set it up. Then, going online, the video about how to set it up goes through the setup so fast that it's nearly impossible to set it up. They need to do two things: 1) put the URL to the setup video on the packaging, and 2) slow down the instructions on the setup video.

This was the answer to a long time security issue with my sensitive files. They are pricey but I expect them to last a long time. Once it's set up, it's a cinch. No prob.

Tough and easy to use solution for storing passwords and crtical docs off of your daily PC.

Super

Caveat Emptor!! The concept is fantastic, but the execution stinks. The USB C male component is too flexible, and it causes the plastic around the C connector to crack and break. I had a buddy that purchased one right after me, and the same thing happened to his too! So as a result, the usb c doesn’t connect unless mercury is in retrograde whilst klingons circle Uranus. I have to wiggle it, and if the I wiggle too much, the red light of death appears and I must start over. Technically, part of the problem is USB-C as a design concept. It is nowhere near as robust as the USB-A, and I think the tech industry will regret using such a design.

Good tactile keys. Easy access and solid build. Fast with a secure encryption. No issues with any Ironkey I have had.

I bought one of these and a few Integral Crypto-197s since they were cheaper. This is excellent - easy to use and can be used directly with phone / tablet etc, although the case stops it plugging fully in. I bought some cheap usb port extenders so I don't need to remove the case. Much better than the Integral - enough so that I've decided the Integrals can be kept in case I need them one day, but I've ordered 2 more Kingston
