Pendrives, like other technological devices, have protection measures to try to ensure that our data and information is stored safely. However, there are different levels, and today Kingston has presented us with one with the highest possible.
It would be a military grade USB flash drive for all those people who care a lot about the content they store in them.
The safest pendrive in the world?
His name is IronKey D500Sand would have a 256-bit XTS-AES encryption. A hardware-encrypted USB flash drive that provides military-grade security.
The D500S is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified. That is, a unit with protection never seen before. Although well, it will depend on the user if that security is real or not. Since as we all know, a pendrive if you do not use passwords in your folders… no matter how much protection it has, it will be of no use.
With an integrated processor to manage secure access to data, it generates protections against attacks specially designed for government and military uses, protecting against vulnerability BadUSB among other.
In addition, it would have a system designed to withstand all types of temperatures, as well as voltage changes and everything that could damage the device, also offering that extra security to the user.
This pendrive allows us to generate passwords of up to 128 characters so that it is impossible for them to guess it.
And as a movie it also has a magical system of crypto erase which will cause it to be formatted in a way in which all the sensitive information that we may have on it will disappear in an instant.

Regarding its capacity, we observe that it would range from 8 GB to 512 GB. Being 3.0, we would have speeds of 310 MB/s reading and 250 MB/s writing.
We do not know what price they will be, however, they are certainly not cheap at all. Of course, if you are afraid and you like to have all your information safe, this is yours.
Otherwise, its operation would be the same as any other unit of pen drive. There wouldn’t be much more to comment on that. In this case, its only difference would be its degree of military security, something difficult to see in this type of device because to achieve it you have to pass certain tests.
You can see more information, as well as a promotional video and all the details that we forgot to tell you, on its official page that we leave you here. Place where we can see the price once they launch it on the market. It is not the most aesthetic in the world, not to mention that it is very simple, but the important thing is inside.
