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!

The instructions originally looked a little confusing but after reading the simple get started sheet 3 times. It became clear. It's actually very logical. Remember, you only have to set it up once. Using it is dead simple; press the key button, enter your pin, press the key button again and plug it into your computer within 30 seconds and that's it.My strong advice, read the quick start completely before pressing any buttons

Easy to use. Works well.

I watched several videos to set this up. It took me about 5 tries before I got it correct. Otherwise I really like the security of sensitive files being transported on this device.

Worth all the money spent. Encrypts data. Works fast and convenient. Reliable encrypted flash drive. I trust Kingston for years.

I’ve purchased two of these Kingston IronKey keypad 200 drives, one with USB-A in 64 GB and one with USB-C in 128 GB and they really are phenomenal to use, plenty intuitive, and very secure in my experience. I also bought the Apricorn on 8 GB to test it out and it’s essentially a clone of this Kingston drive however, I can say I prefer the Kingston IronKey to the Apricorn due to build quality, although they are very close in comparison, and the more updated protection the Kingston model has over the particular Apricorn I purchased. That may not still be the case so compare specs.I read several reviews on this IronKey and, unfortunately, nearly all of the complaints I read were from users who are having a hard time comprehending and using the technology and need a bit of hand holding through the setup and use process. It’s pretty obvious that many of them are memorizing the steps in the instructions to lock/unlock/read/write with this drive instead of understanding how it functions and the meaning behind the feedback it provides through its blinking or steady combinations of blue, red, and green lights. I’m not sure most of those users understand the difference in the drive being locked and charging, unlocked in read/write, unlocked in read only, unlocked in admin, or locked and in setup mode.Personally, I find this drive very easy to use and understand the mode it’s in. The instructions were simple and straightforward. I only wish the Kingston IronKey was made in the U.S. or basically anywhere other than China.

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 combinationReliability 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

Great product. A little expensive. Would buy again.
