There are so many options when it comes to USB flash drives that it is hard to decide what factor one ought to prioritize when choosing a flash drive.  There are so many options for those who want their USB flash drive to reflect their personality.  For sheer volume of information, Victorinox now offers a 1TB flash drive and many other flash drives appeal to consumers based upon their fast data transfer speeds.  But what about security?  When it comes to security, no one beats Ironkey for USB flash drives!

The Imation Ironkey USB flash drive is advertised as the most durable, most secure flash drive on Earth and given that Imation stakes its reputation with business, government and the military on that claim, they have gone beyond the expectations for creating a durable, secure USB flash drive.  Physically, Ironkey USB flash drives look simple, durable and uniformly nondescript.  Imation made the Ironkey to be durable, not stylish.  Even so, the brushed metal surface of the Ironkey gives it a very chic stainless steel appearance.

Available in 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 GB, the Imation Ironkey USB flash drive offers the same invaluable protection, regardless of the capacity.  In addition to a solid metal case that is virtually unbreakable, the Ironkey offers other physical protections for your data.  Underneath the metal casing, the Ironkey has an epoxy compound that coats all of the components inside.  This makes the Ironkey waterproof and the waterproofing actually exceeds military specifications for such a device!  The physical security extends to a tamper-proof self-destruct system.  It may seem like something out of science fiction, but if the Ironkey’s physical shell is broken in an attempt to get to the hardware, the Ironkey initiates a self-destruct sequence.  When the case is broken into, the Ironkey burns off the encryption key, physically destroying the only way to access the information stored on the flash drive!

What separates the Imation Ironkey USB flash drive from most flash drives is the way it secures the information you store on the drive.  The Ironkey does not allow access to the memory without first authenticating the user.  When you plug the Ironkey into a USB port, the flash drive opens a window demanding a password.  Because the hardware forces all users to go through the password authentication before accessing the information, your data is secure.  If you are worried about hackers, the Ironkey has you covered there, too!  If someone enters an incorrect password ten times, the Ironkey sends an electric pulse through the data storage portion of the flash drive!  If someone else tries to guess your password and fails, the Ironkey prevents them from ever getting your data by wiping the drive’s memory!

For those who want to keep their data safe, secure and out of the hands of anyone else, there is no better USB flash drive than the Imation Ironkey.
