FAQs

What are the key security features of the IronKey D500S USB drive?

The IronKey D500S features military-grade FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certification with hardware-based XTS-AES 256-bit encryption. It includes Brute Force password attack protection, BadUSB malware immunity through digitally-signed firmware, and crypto-erase capabilities. The drive supports multi-password options (Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery) and offers dual hidden partition functionality. For additional security, it includes Read-Only modes and self-testing upon bootup with automatic shutdown for abnormal conditions.

What are the physical specifications and durability features?

The IronKey D500S measures 3.1" in length, 0.9" in width, and 0.5" in height. It features a rugged zinc casing that's waterproof, dustproof, and crush-resistant. The drive is specially designed with epoxy-filled protection to prevent physical penetration attacks on internal components. Its military-grade construction ensures maximum durability for demanding environments while maintaining full security compliance.

What are the performance specifications of the D500S?

The IronKey D500S offers high-speed data transfer with maximum read speeds of up to 260 MB/s and write speeds of up to 190 MB/s through its USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type A interface. The drive provides 32GB of secure storage capacity, delivering fast performance without compromising its military-grade security features.

How does the password protection system work?

The D500S offers two password modes: Complex mode and Passphrase mode. Complex mode requires 8-16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets, while Passphrase mode allows 10-128 characters. It supports three password types: Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery. The system includes a virtual keyboard for protection against keyloggers, and an Eye symbol to verify password entry. After excessive invalid password attempts, the drive's Brute Force protection automatically crypto-erases all data.

What are the partitioning capabilities of the drive?

The IronKey D500S features an industry-first Dual Hidden Partition option. The Admin can create two custom-sized secure partitions - one for Admin and one for User. This includes a Hidden File Store functionality where Admin can securely provision files to the User partition as needed. The hidden partitions remain secure and invisible unless properly accessed with appropriate credentials.
