General Information:

KINGSTON IRONKEY D500S | Military-grade FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) security to protect mobile data

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 waterproof, dustproof, crush-resistant and special epoxy-filled to protect internal components from penetration attacks.

IronKey D500S is an essential pillar to 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 detection of over-temperature or voltage conditions will lead to drive shutdown. For added peace of mind, D500S incorporates a 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 mode. Traditional Complex mode allows for password from 8-16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets. Passphrases can be from 10-128 characters long. A sentence with space characters, list of words or even lyrics to simplify remembering meaningful yet very secure passwords. FBI recommends multi-word passphrases of 15 or more characters as stronger yet easier to remember than complex passwords.

D500S includes an industry-first Dual Hidden Partition option where Admin can create two custom-sized secure partitions for Admin and User, thereby allowing for a Hidden File Store that can be used to provision files to the User partition as needed. When using untrusted systems or sharing the drive, the Hidden File Stores keep their data secure and invisible unless properly accessed.

With a special key sequence, Admin can enter a Crypto-Erase password that will crypto-erase the drive, destroy the data forever and reset it to prevent unauthorized access.

To assist users with keyboard issues, all password entry screens include an Eye symbol that will display the password entered to reduce typos. A Virtual Keyboard is also available in English to shield password entry from keyloggers and screenloggers.

D500S also supports two levels of Read-Only (Write-Protect) Modes. Both Admin and User can set a session-based Read-Only mode to protect the drive from malware on untrusted systems. Admin can also set a Global Read-Only mode that sets the drive in Read-Only mode until reset.

It also delivers fast performance without compromising security. The drive includes a unique 8-digit serial number that is the same electronically as engraved on the casing, with a scannable bar code for drive deployment or auditing purposes.

D500S offers many customization options and is TAA/CMMC Compliant and Assembled in USA.

    Everything You Want to Know About Hard Drives.

    Understanding hard drive basics will help you make better storage decisions.

    What's a Hard Drive Do?
    A hard drive is the hardware component that stores all of your digital content. Your documents, pictures, music, videos, programs, application preferences, and operating system represent digital content stored on a hard drive. Hard drives can be external or internal.

    Everything stored on a hard drive is measured in terms of its file size. Documents (text) are generally very small whereas pictures are large, music is even larger, and videos are by far the biggest. A hard drive determines the size of digital files in terms of megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB).

    There are 3 major versions of hard drive technologies. All of them have pros and cons and reasons for owning each versions;

    Standard Hard Drives

      This is an older technology but has continued to evolve in speed and reliability. Basically the technology is like a record player except the platters are metal instead of vinyl and the needle is magnetic allowing you to read, write and erase. The faster the hard drive spins, or RPM, the faster the read and write happens.
      Pros -- Cheapest per GB, very reliable and easily replaceable.
      Cons -- Much slower than newer technologies.

    Solid State or SSD Drives

      Solid State is basically a form of memory that can be written to and the data will stay saved even with the power off!
      Pros -- Very Fast read/write, no moving parts so it is quiet and in theory should last longer, less heat and energy.
      Cons -- Price per GB is more expensive than Standard HDD.

    M.2 Drives

      An M.2 SSD is a solid-state drive (SSD) that conforms to a computer industry specification written for internally mounted storage expansion cards of a small form factor. Shaped like a stick of gum. Most M.2 SSDs are 80 x 22mm (L x W), but they can be shorter or longer. You can tell what size an M.2 SSD is by reading the four or five-digit number in its name: the first two numbers are its width, while the others are its length (example: M.2 Type-2280).
      Pros -- Small for factor and SPEED,!!! M.2 card can use either the existing SATA 3.0 specifications and be restricted to the 600MB/s or it could instead elect to use PCI-Express that provides a bandwidth of 1GB/s under the current PCI-Express 3.0 standards.
      Cons -- Compatibility, since this is an internal storage device your motherboard must be newer and include the proper slot(s) to accommodate this storage technology.

    Hybrid Hard Drives

      A Hybrid Hard Drive may be the best of both worlds. In a Hybrid Drive you have both SSD and Platter or Standard Hard Drives included in one device. Typically you have a smaller SSD Drive coupled with a larger HDD. You have the low price per GB of an HDD and the speed of an SSD. This type of drive is a great choice for SMB workstations all the way to gaming machines.
      Pros -- Best overall value for the dollar as well as speed ratio.
      Cons -- Can add a level of complexity to some users as you basically have 2 drives in one and will have to be aware of what drive you will save data vs programs to.

    If you have an older Computer or notebook consider the SSD option as it will make your system feel new again with this faster storage technology.

    Internal vs. External or Portable Hard Drives

    External desktop hard drives are built using a drive and require an AC adapter plugged into a power outlet. These drives are a good choice for supplementing a desktop computer or plugging into a laptop's home base, and typically can extend your need to upgrade your hard drive or more importantly it can be used as a backup drive. As the saying goes "It's not if, but when something fails!" Please Backup...
