KingstonIronkey Keypad 200 USB-C 32GB Encrypted Flash Drive | OS Independent | FIPS 140-3 Level 3 | XTS-AES 256-bit | BadUSB and Brute Force Protection | Multi-Pin Option | IKKP200C/32GB

The instructions originally looked a little confusing but after reading the simple get started sheet 3 times. It became clear. It's actually very logical. Remember, you only have to set it up once. Using it is dead simple; press the key button, enter your pin, press the key button again and plug it into your computer within 30 seconds and that's it.My strong advice, read the quick start completely before pressing any buttons

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.

I had problems programing two out of three "Datashur pro" locking USB drives but the Kingston works great. It programs easily. The two brands look like they could come from the same factory, but they program slightly differently.Two thumbs up.

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.

No problems so far. But I do fear that one day this thing is gonna lock me out. So I need to have a backup drive for it. Only time will tell in regard to that and also regarding durability. It also seems you don't get enough time to set up a long password so I had to make my password shorter than I wanted to. But smooth sailing so far.

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!

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

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