Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of IronKey 4 GB Secure Hardware-Encrypted USB 2.0 Flash Drive D20402A
Customer Review: Excellent security product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the Iron Key 4gb and I cannot live without it. As said in some other reviews and as admitted by IK themselves, there are some convenience features that would be nice to have. They are very open on their forum about both strengths and weaknesses, reasons why they did things as they did and plans for the future.
This is not a toy, it is a high security device. If you really want a flash drive with some extras like TrueCrypt, this is probably not the best value. If you want a drive that has the most solid encryption for the money, this is it. Good security does come at some price of convenience though.
The "Secure Sessions" feature is a very nice feature for people who need to communicate on the web while hiding their location or preventing local intrusion to their messages. An example of legitimate use would be someone who is being stalked and does not wish their place in the world known. It is also useful for security administrators who wish to investigate intrusions without tipping their hand that they are aware of the intrusion.
As with all security systems, if you really are counting on privacy and security then you should carefully read about the features and be sure you are using them correctly.
I have started storing things on my IK that I would not store even on my home PC in cleartext.
Customer Review: Great security device for the paranoid
Summary: 5 Stars
The IronKey is an awesome security device - for the person serious about it. It's extremely rugged (practically indestructible), waterproof and with some amazing features.
The physical design leaves nothing to be desired in regards to security, it's rock solid and can take a serious beating. Only lack it has is the cap; it's not attached and can easily get lost.
The encryption is as good as it gets. You can put you worried mind at ease by storing your sensitive information on this device. (see all about it on [...] )
The TOR (the onion router) is run through IronKey's own servers, making it incredible secure and fast, not like public TOR systems, where you don't know if they keep logs of the traffic etc. The IronKey TOR is an absolute gem.
I would recommend this device to anyone serious about security.
Customer Review: Extremely secure, but also easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised when I got my IronKey 4GB model that it feels far more solid and reliable than other usb flash drives which are typically made of plastic, or a hollow metal shell. This baby is waterproof and tamper-resistant. It's solid.
I use it on Windows XP. It mounts a read-only partition with the unlocking control panel software. You simply enter your password and it then mounts up the encrypted partition. Read/write speeds are very fast. It comes with an onboard FireFox browser and a cool password manager. IronKey are giving out online services for password backups and restore.
All in all, a highly secure product, designed by security guys, but very easy to use. The portable browsing and password manager give Internet security and portability.
Customer Review: With Ironkey, my data is secure and speedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an ex-military relic of the "Cold War", and have a deep appreciation for safeguarding vital information. When I began my search for a secure portable data solution, I expected to sacrifice speed. Speed is not spared when using the Ironkey!
Not only is my data secure with the Ironkey, but accessing the data is amazingly fast. This appears to be the added benefit of hardware-based data encryption. I strongly recommend it to all of my friends.
With the specter of identity theft peering over everyones' shoulder, I'd say the Ironkey is a definite must-have when accessing financial, and/or personal files while away from home.
Maybe I should pass this bit of intel on to my friends at the VA, huh?
Customer Review: Wonderful flash drive!

IronKey 4GB Secure Hardware-Encrypted Flash Drive
I purchased one of these IronKey 4gb flash drives a while back and I've been very pleased with how it works. The encryption is quick and doesn't interfere with anything. The read/write speed (30mb/s & 20mb/s respectively) is very speedy as well, by far the fastest flash drive I've ever owned!
I work in the IT industry and frequently need to grab copies of data files, backups, etc., and this flash drive is my first choice because it is secure (helpful for transporting sensitive information), fast, and reliable.
Overall, I'm very happy with this flash drive! :)
