FAQs

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

It includes Brute Force password attack protection, digitally-signed firmware immune to BadUSB malware, and Multi-Password option supporting Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery passwords. The drive offers Dual Hidden Partition capability, Crypto-Erase functionality, and two levels of Read-Only modes for additional protection. All security features are processed on the device, leaving no trace on host systems.

What is the storage capacity and transfer speed of the IronKey D500S?

The IronKey D500S offers 512GB of storage capacity with impressive data transfer speeds. It achieves maximum read speeds of up to 310 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 250 MB/s through its USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type A interface, delivering fast performance without compromising its security features.

How durable is the IronKey D500S's physical construction?

The IronKey D500S features a highly durable zinc casing that's waterproof, dustproof, and crush-resistant. The drive is specially designed with epoxy-filling to protect internal components from physical penetration attacks. It measures 3.1" in length, 0.9" in width, and 0.5" in height, offering a robust and portable design suitable for demanding environments.

What password options does the IronKey D500S support?

The IronKey D500S supports both Complex password and Passphrase modes. Complex mode requires 8-16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets, while Passphrases can be 10-128 characters long and include spaces, allowing for easier-to-remember but highly secure passwords. The drive includes a Virtual Keyboard for protection against keyloggers and an Eye symbol feature to verify password entry accuracy.

How does the Dual Hidden Partition feature work?

The Dual Hidden Partition feature allows the Admin to create two custom-sized secure partitions - one for Admin and one for User. This industry-first feature enables a Hidden File Store that can securely store data invisible to others unless properly accessed. Administrators can provision files to the User partition as needed, making it ideal for secure file sharing and management.
