Kingston IronKey Basic S1000 8GB Encrypted USB 3.0 FIPS Level 3 Flash Drive

The Kingston IKS1000B/8GB is an 8 GB USB 3.0 flash drive built for people who refuse to compromise on data security. An on-device cryptochip powers XTS-AES 256-bit encryption, and the drive carries FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, the same standard trusted by government and enterprise IT departments. Set a strong password or passphrase and your files stay locked to everyone but you.

High security does not slow you down. Read speeds reach up to 400 MB/s and write speeds up to 300 MB/s, so large presentations, design files, or video footage move quickly between computers. Whether you are working in the office, on a client site, or at home, you spend less time waiting and more time getting things done.

The sturdy metal enclosure is sealed against water and dust and it absorbs shocks if the drive is dropped. A tamper evident design lets you know if anyone tries to open the case. Field engineers, traveling executives, and journalists can carry sensitive material through airports, construction zones, or harsh weather with confidence.

Compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux means you can plug the drive into almost any workstation without extra software. Kingston backs the IronKey Basic S1000 with a five-year limited warranty, so your investment stays protected for the long term.
