Kingston Ironkey Keypad 200 64GB Encrypted USB | Alphanumeric Keypad | Multi-Pin Access | XTS-AES 256-bit | FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Certified | Brute Force & BadUSB Protection | IKKP200/64GB

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.

Excellent way to carry sensitive files in a secure way. I keep a plaintext version of my passwords as a backup

I have been using this for 6 months now and I am very pleased with the results. Easy to use and I like the build in battery so that you may enter your pin and then plugged in the computer.

I wanted usb-c and I don't need a huge amount of storage.I've been disappointed with apps to encrypt/decrypt folders/files.I decided to stop the apps and easily lock/unlock a thumbdrive.I'm not sure if I didn't read to click key symbol after entering key + code to unlock. finally when I started and ended with key symbol it unlocked easily. do write down your passcode or better yet store in Lastpass or similar secure way.Directions were unclear to me how to enter a alphanumeric and I didn't want to press a key many times to get the right letter, so I just use a numeric PIN long enough and easy enough to enter.when unplugging the thumbdrive from laptop/phone, or better ejecting the device, it locks automatically.

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

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.

I originally purchased the 16 GB Ironkey Keypad 2000 about five years ago, and have been using it almost daily ever since without any issues whatsoever. I just recently purchased another 16 GB Ironkey Keypad 200 (identical to the older 2000 version) for my wife to use during her extensive European travels and she absolutely loves it.Yes . . . it is expensive, however, in this case you are definitely getting what you pay for. Rock solid security, and excellent design and build quality. I highly recommend it!

Just what I need when I'm on the road so I can still securely get to passwords, etc.
