With USB 3.0 speeds up to 200 MB/s and military-standard durability, it ensures your sensitive data stays protected and accessible wherever you go. ## Description Kingston’s IronKey S1000 meets the strictest standards to make it the ultimate security drive. Safeguard 100 percent of confidential data with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, in XTS mode, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation with on-device Cryptochip Encryption Key management. The drive detects and responds to physical tampering and provides automatic data protection upon drive removal. For added peace of mind, the drive uses digitally-signed firmware making it immune to BadUSB. The drive locks down after ten invalid password attempts and there is also the option to reformat or destroy the drive. Basic model Available in 4GB to 128GB1 capacities, the S1000 basic model provides fast USB 3. 02 performance and enhanced, hardware-based security without compromise. Meeting the most stringent standards for military grade strength and durability, the drive is built with an anodised aluminium enclosure and epoxy-filled casing. Dust- and shock-resistant, the S1000 is waterproof to MIL-STD-810F standards. Review: I've owned and used this product for almost 2 years, so I think I'm well qualified to give my opinion of this flash drive. I bought it right here on desertcart. The reviewer who claimed it only had a couple hundred megabytes of memory probably didn't bother reading the instructions on how to properly set it up and use it. Unfortunately for reviews, that seems to be a common theme among purchasers and products. Don't assume! Take the time to learn how to properly use any item. The "security gate" system files that occupy only a very small amount of memory are all that are visible to anyone when first plugged into a computer. Once the secure password is entered properly during normal use or after initial setup, all 8 gigs are available and shown with dual drive letters, the system drive and the storage area drive. It allows you to select your preferred level of security to handle incorrect password attempts, either allowing unlimited reattempts or wiping of all data after the set amount of incorrect entries. You can also select during password entry, whether you want it to open the secure drive section as read only or fully read/writable. The price reflects the quality and security and is well worth it! It appears to be a precision machined aluminum outer body in a brushed finish with an integrated key ring loop at the opposite end of the removable cap. I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with this IronKey 8 gig flash drive and will definitely buy versions with higher storage as well. Review: Good USB.

No issue at all ### ⭐⭐ Review *by S***N on 24 January 2020* Der Stick sieht super aus und ist sicherlich auch sicher. (Das erfährt man natürlich erst nach einem erfolgreichen Hack). Leider ist der Support seitens des Herstellers schon kurz nach dem Erwerb eingestellt worden. (das war sicherlich in Insiderkreisen schon vorher bekannnt). Daher ist m.E. der Preis für ein "Auslaufmodell" eindeutig zu hoch. Durch den Verlust des Support ist das Teil leider schon altes Eisen (Iron), zumoindest aus meiner Sicht. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kingston IronKey S1000 Encrypted USB Flash Drive 8GB On-Device Cryptochip and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified-IKS1000B/8GB - Yubico - YubiKey 5C NFC - Two-factor authentication (2FA) security key, connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO certified - Protect your online accounts - Kingston IronKey Locker+ 50 USB Flash Drive XTS-AES Encrypted for Data Protection with Automatic USBtoCloud Back Up-IKLP50/32GB --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/445306414-kingston-ironkey-s1000-basic-8gb-encrypted-flash-drive-gray](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/445306414-kingston-ironkey-s1000-basic-8gb-encrypted-flash-drive-gray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
