Kingston today unveiled the IronKey D500S hardware-encrypted USB flash drive, which meets FIPS 140-3 Level 3 security validation. The drive offers on-device hardware encryption meeting XTS-AES 256-bit. The drive also offers an industry-first dual hidden partition option; and a crypto-erase password option (a decryption password that causes the drive to destroy its data). The drive comes in various capacities, ranging from 16 GB to 512 GB. It comes in a rugged zinc alloy casing. It meets IP67 waterproof and dustproof ratings.

The drive comes with a 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 type-A interface. The 16 GB to 128 GB variants offer sequential speeds of up to 260 MB/s reads with up to 190 MB/s writes; the 256 GB variant offers up to 240 MB/s reads with up to 170 MB/s writes; and the top 512 GB model reads at up to 310 MB/s with up to 250 MB/s writes. When plugged into USB 2.0, all models cap out at up to 30 MB/s reads with up to 20 MB/s writes.
