Hardcore protection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this to my wife since she’s been needing something to store all her stuff on her laptop incase the new one I got her crashes like the old one. She first thought it was a pad lock/lock box lol. With a ridiculous amount of storage space for the average person, this high tech external protection drive is the ultimate is privacy! Super fancy touch screen. More safety than I can summarize; encrypted, password touch sensitive, read only malware protection, etc. She now was to export all her finance information and medical history onto it too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The number one thing I love about this device is that when you enter the passcode, the numbers move. This way if someone does obtain the device, there is not a way to pinpoint the numbers used. It's compact, easy to setup, and has a pretty large space on it. It also comes with a standard USB and USB-C connection cable. It's perfect for my on the go lifestyle.

Easiest External SSD to use
on August 10, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After you unbox the device, setting it up takes as long as plugging in one of the provided cables to your machine, selecting your language, and entering [then confirming] a numerical passkey. After that's completed, the device will run through it's process and it'll be ready to go!
I'm using my IronKey on an iMac running macOS Monterey 12.5. There's nothing to install or configure...the drive does it for you and when complete, you'll be able to see it in your Finder window (image attached). Afterwards, it's as simple as any other external SSD...save your documents to the drive, eject the drive from your PC, lock and disconnect it from the IronKey screen, unplug it and go! It literally could not get any simpler, and if you have more detailed questions, there are PDF documents on the SSD, which you will see when you open it in Finder.
I literally couldn't think of an easier, faster setup.

Very secure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The encryption keeps unwanted people out pretty well I purposely put the wrong passcode in to see if i could get in and it wouldnt allow me to view any of the files. I would recommend to those who have information they do not want anyone seeing. Havent had it long enough to speak on its durability but I will say its not the fastest drive out there but you gotta give up speed to gain security im all for it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Will give you peace of mind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These days, security is everything. In the age of the internet and electronics, you can never be too careful in protecting your information and data. This Ironkey Vault Privacy external storage is perfect for protecting your most sensitive info and giving you peace of mind.
If you’re not too tech savvy, don’t be intimidated. At first look, this may seem like a high tech device that is complicated to operate. I can assure you that this is not the case. It is very simple to connect, set up, and operate.
Included with the unit are two different USB cables to connect to any of your devices. Simply hook up the cables and the unit will turn right on. Simply follow the on screen instructions.
The 480GB is a ton of storage. I’ve put documents, pictures, videos, files, reports and everything possible on it and I still have 472GB remaining. If you’re worried about how much you can store on it, don’t sweat it. If you’re like me, you won’t even come close to filling it up.
There is also a neat little case that comes with it. It adds a bit of extra physical protection. There is also a small pouch in front of the case to put the two cables in. The case will keep everything in one place so no need to worry about losing cables.
The biggest benefit, in my opinion, is the piece of mind this brings. Having my most sensitive info protected as well as safely storing pictures and videos of my family is what I love most. I don’t have to fill up my computer and laptop with a bunch of media files, so saving space on those devises is really nice.
I’m really happy with this Ironkey vault. It’s simplicity makes it easy to use while it’s technology will protect your data. I’d highly recommend to others looking for an extra secure space for your most private data.

Effective and Easy
on August 8, 2022
Posted by: Emry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been looking for ways to securely store some documents and files, some of which contain sensitive information. This is perfect! It was easy to set up and use and it’s nice to have the peace of mind to know that I have an extra level of security. It seems to be effective and I love the size of it, not too bulky to store where I’d like it. Definitely recommend.

Digital Touch Screen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very forward-thinking. I’ve never seen anything like this before. The touch screen is really nice and it turns on when it’s plugged into a USB port. It stays cool to the touch and it comes with a nice case. I feel like something like this would be used by a government agent. Kingston is also a brand that has been a round for a long time and is definitely trust-worthy.
