Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD, 960GB, USB-C 3.0

With the IronKey Vault Privacy 80, Kingston is addressing the need for data security while on the move. Losing or having your drive stolen is always a possibility, and with it comes the risk of not only losing your data, but the chance that it ends up in the wrong hands. While for a typical consumer this isn't a big deal, it is a huge issue for corporations and governments. Of course there have been various methods to safeguard your data with encryption, and we've also seen various hardware-encryption-based portable devices, so it's not like Kingston has invented something totally new. However, considering that Kingston is the world's leading vendor for flash-based storage solutions, with excellent reputation, worldwide availability and a great support network, I'd expect the IKVP80 to be considered by a lot of potential clients.

The newest data security tool on the market is the IronKey Vault Privacy 80ES Hardware-Encrypted external SSD and this storage device is as easy as it gets to set up and use. Where most are made with business in mind, the IronKey was made for you and I. It’s just that easy to setup, use and there is nothing better available today to protect your data. It is OS independent so, when you unlock the 80ES by simply inserting you password or passphrase, it is an open storage drive until removed or locked once again. There is no software installation whatsoever; everything you need is within the 80ES itself. And it is as secure as they come.

The Ironkey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD is the newest model released in the Kingston Digital encrypted device lineup. The VP80ES marks the first OS-independent external SSD featuring a colored touch-screen for wide versatility along with hardware encryption for data protection. The SSD uses XTS-AES 256-bit encryption protecting against brute force attacks and BadUSBs, and for quicking traveling, Kingston has included a neoprene carrying case.
