Your files are safe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first external hard drive I have used with security, and I must say that it covers that area pretty well! You get to establish a password when it is plugged in for the first time, and then it will ask you for that password each time it is plugged in. There are many different administrative settings that allow you to set specifics in regards to the password policy and other security features like key randomization. It has a color touchscreen, and although you can get things done by tapping with your fingers, I think a stylus would be the best bet here. The hard drive comes with both USB C to USB C and USB C to USB A USB cables. It also comes with a nice neoprene case that offers it protection when you are on the go. It seemed reasonably fast for what I was writing to it, but I don’t do a whole lot of files at once. Overall, this is a pretty fancy little hard drive that ensures that your files, documents, and information are safe and secure! It is also backed by a 3 year warranty.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best SSD I’ve ever had

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is how all external storage should be. It is very easy to use and keeps your data safe.
Using this drive to store your sensitive documents, photos, videos etc is incredibly simple and gives you such peace of mind. The touchscreen is responsive and clear, the controls are simple and well thought out. The options to set password complexity rules and PINs or passphrases and the ability to set user and admin accounts make this the perfect option for anyone looking to secure their data

[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 solution for personal data security
on August 17, 2022
Posted by: ignac100

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This IronKey SSD is a perfect choice for securing personal documents, sensitive data, and cryptographic keys and secrets. Using cloud storage these days is fairly secure, but security is always in the hands of someone else, so this physical device is much more secure. The drive is tamper proof and nearly impossible to hack with AES 256-bit encryption. There are plenty of admin options you can choose and you can even add an additional user that can be made read-only. This SSD even has randomized numeric key locations on the screen so fingerprint smudges and swipe patterns can't be used to discover your passcode. Setup was super easy and it works with any operating system (Windows/MacOD/Chrome OS, etc) that can support USB storage. It comes pre-formatted and there is nothing to install. I highly recommend this drive for your most secure data storage needs.

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!
