Kingston IronKey D500S USB 3.2 Gen 1 128GB memory stick, Black

The Kingston IronKey D500S is a 128 GB USB flash drive engineered specifically for secure data transport and storage. Data stored on the device is protected using AES-256 XTS hardware encryption, which operates continuously without reliance on host system software. This security module has achieved FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation, confirming its adherence to specific government-mandated security standards for cryptographic hardware. The drive utilizes the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface for high-speed connectivity.

Performance metrics indicate sequential read speeds reaching 260 MB/s and write speeds up to 190 MB/s when connected via the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. Access requires password verification, supporting dual administrator and user roles for managed environments. Security features include defense mechanisms against brute-force password attacks, an optional read-only function, and support for a fast secure erase process.

The external enclosure is constructed from durable zinc alloy, providing resistance against physical wear. This robust housing is rated IPX8 for waterproof protection up to 1.2 meters and offers protection against dust, operational shock (1500 G), and vibration. The drive measures 79.5 mm in depth, weighs 50 g, and maintains compatibility across Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS (versions 12.x to 15.x), and Linux Kernel 4.4+ systems.
