Ironkey: Secure, Portable Storage

Filed in archive Storage Stuff by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on October 2, 2007

Let's face it, flash drives are really convenient. However, if your flash drive falls into the wrong hands, so does your data. What's a paranoid geek to do?

Enter the Ironkey, sold by ThinkGeek. In addition to having up to 4gb of storage, it's encrypted on-the-fly with 128bit AES. When you stick the drive into a Windows computer, you have to enter the device password. If you fail the password entry 10 times, the crypto chip becomes permanently inoperative.

The Ironkey is also physically hardened against tampering. The insides of the flash drive are filled with epoxy, making it unlikely that someone could get in without damaging something. Exceeds US government standards for being waterproof. Sweet!

Everything looks great except that part about "permanently inoperative" - if some idiot tries guessing my password he can hose my files? They should provide some sort of master reset.

I agree that the Ironkey is a very sturdy and secure device. It is just too overpriced. You can get the same level of security for under $40. Check out this article here:

The security is different. You do get what you pay for, in this case.
