## Description

The Kingston IronKey™ Keypad 200 series are OS-independent hardware-encrypted USB Type-A and USB Type-C® drives with an alphanumeric keypad for easy-to-use PIN access. The KP200 incorporates XTS-AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. It also is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certified for military-grade security with enhancements that further elevate the bar for data protection. Its circuitry is covered by a layer of special epoxy that makes it virtually impossible to remove components without damaging them; this tough epoxy stops attacks against the semiconductor components. The drive is designed to be tamper-evident to alert owners. It also incorporates Brute Force password attack protection, and BadUSB protection with digitally signed firmware. The alphanumeric keypad is coated with a layer of polymer that protects the keys and hides key usage through analysis of fingerprints on the keys.

Review: Worth every penny! - If you're looking for a basically unhackable storage device to keep your files secure then look no further! I have a few of these & they're all top notch. I haven't found a single flaw with the fit & finish of these. They're pretty easy to set up, even though at first glance the directions seem complicated. If it's confusing, their YouTube videos demonstrate the setup quite well. Their built to thwart being compromised at every level. Inside the aluminum shell the electronics are encased in epoxy, which makes it nearly impossible to get down to the circuitry in an attempt to compromise it. The keypad makes brute forcing the device impossible, & with only 10 chances to get it right, it'd be very unlikely anyone could guess their way in. Basically as long as you store your password in a secure manner (ideally only in your head), then you can bet nobody is gaining access to this storage! In a world teeming with hackers, unethical big tech, tyrannical gov'ts & nosy gov't agents, this device is the only true means of keeping your files truly secure! That's why it's worth every penny!
Review: Rock-Solid Secure USB Drive From a Trusted Brand - This is a great secure USB flash drive for keeping valuable files safe on the go. I like that it has a USB-C connector, which makes it really convenient to use with modern laptops, tablets, and my Android phone — no adapters needed. I use it interchangeably between my PC and phone, and it’s completely OS-independent, so I don’t have to worry about installing extra software. The physical keypad is easy to use and gives me extra confidence that my data is well protected, with strong XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification. Although it feels a bit pricey for an 8GB drive, I trust Kingston and their IronKey line — they’ve always made durable, high-quality storage solutions. For me, the peace of mind is worth it. My data is valuable, and I trust this solution to keep it secure, especially with features like brute force protection and BadUSB safeguards. If you need a rugged, highly secure USB drive you can take anywhere without worrying about operating system compatibility or extra software, this is a smart investment. Highly recommended for anyone serious about protecting sensitive files while on the go!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and Secure Drive
*by T***E on June 9, 2026*

I tied, and failed, to teach the wife how to use encryption software. This was the next best answer. Once set up these are exceptionally easy to use! I have two of them and keep scans of all our important documents, photos and lists of important information on them. Once stays in our safe and the other is stored at a friends house. Really can't recommend them enough.
