What customers say about "Features"

IronKey S1000 4GB Encrypted Flash Drive

It's still military encryption but no more secure sessions. That's the deal breaker for me.
The gold standard for secure data transport. This is my fourth.
Secure. Ironkeys are great protecting against several USB attacks.
Works great, easy to set up, meets required security standards.
Great for storing sensitive documents. I also installed a portable password manager (little paranoid about online password managers).

IronKey D300 4GB Managed USB 3.0 Flash Drive

It's password encoded , that is easily set and works on my windows and works Mac.
If you need a really secure, flexible and reliable portable way to transfer files this is ideal.
Data transfer speed is very impressive.
This drive has very high security standards and does not leave any password history on the computer you are using the drive on.
I simply plugged it into my Windows 10 desktop, the installation program ran, asked for a password with hints on how to make a secure password.
