Easiest External SSD to use

[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.
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.

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!

Peace of mind!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great storage solution. All the features you’d expect from a secure, encrypted solid state drive with a very responsive touchscreen! Having digital copies of my family’s important documents backed up to this drive is fantastic and gives a lot of peace of mind. Only con I can think of is the screen can be difficult to see in the sun, but for most that will be a non-issue. Home run!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this privacy key. It is super easy to use and set up and adds an extra layer of protection with all of my accounts and data. It is definitely something that is helpful with all of the saved passwords and information that we have online now. It is nice and compact, so I appreciate that I can take it with me anywhere.

Best SSD I’ve ever had
on August 26, 2022
Posted by: Tommy
from Denver, CO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ssd is amazing. I do a lot of traveling and my computer doesn’t have the biggest hard drive space so I needed an external drive. The physical size of this device is small and light, yet holds a lot of recorded music and videos. It’s also very nice to be able to lock it so no one else can access it if you happen to lose if. High recommended.
