Kingston Technology IronKey D500S, 256 GB, USB Type-A, 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), 240 MB/s, Cap, Black
Kingston IronKey D500S hardware-encrypted USB flash drive FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (pending) certified, XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encrypted, rugged zinc casing
The Kingston IronKey D500S/SM USB flash drive features flagship military-grade security that makes IronKey the most trusted brand to safeguard classified information. It is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certified with new enhancements from NIST requiring secure microprocessor upgrades for stronger security and attack protections for government and military uses. Data is encrypted and decrypted on the D500S without any trace left on the host system. Along with hardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption, it features a rugged zinc casing which is waterproof1, dustproof1, crush-resistant and filled with special epoxy to protect internal components from penetration attacks.
IronKey D500S is an essential pillar in meeting Data Loss Protection (DLP) best practices with the toughest military-grade security for compliance with data encryption laws and regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOX and CCPA. D500S offers more features than any other drive in its class, making it a complete security solution for high-value data protection.
D500S self-tests upon bootup and the detection of over-temperature or voltage conditions will lead to drive shutdown. For added peace of mind, D500S incorporates digitally-signed firmware, making it immune to BadUSB malware and brute force attacks. Brute force password attack protection is always on to guard against password guessing and will ultimately crypto-erase the drive if invalid password retries are exceeded.
It offers a Multi-Password option to access data, which supports up to three passwords: Admin, User and One-Time Recovery. Admin can reset a User password and also enable a One-Time Recovery password to restore access if the User password is forgotten.
D500S supports traditional Complex password or Passphrase mode2. Traditional Complex mode allows for passwords from 8-16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets. Passphrases can be from 10

| Device interface The ports (sockets) where the device connects with other devices. | USB Type-A |
| USB version Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the interface used for connection, communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices. Every new version - for example 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 - is much faster than the previous one. | 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) |

| International Protection (IP) code The IP code classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against the intrusion (including body parts such as hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. Where there is no protection rating with regard to one of the criteria, the digit is replaced with the letter X. an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. Another example is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, one of the first cellular phones to be IP-rated; it is rated at IP58 and marketed as "dust resistant" and can be "immersed in 1.5 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes". | IPX8 |
