Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 3.8TB External SSD | FIPS 197 | XTS-AES 256GB Encrypted | Touch Screen PIN | Secure Data Protection | IKVP80ES/3840G

I bought this to back up my Google Drive. It does what it's supposed to and I can complete a 40gb backup in a matter of four to five minutes.The serious limitation with this product is the horrible response of the touch screen. It's an old style non-capacitive touch screen that responds to pressure rather than capacitance, something I haven't seen in many years. It works fine if you're using a stylus, which I happen to have on my Samsung Ultra, but if you're using your fingers, no matter how many times you calibrate this thing it's a pain in the neck to enter the code each time you connect it. That should not be the case.The things that I do like about it, is that you connected to pretty much any OS/PC/phone, and the only thing that you need to do, is enter your code on connection. No software required at all on any platform, to secure your data. Other encrypted / secure SSDs require you to run software on the host platform, which for me, defeats the whole purpose of a device like this.Still on the fence as to whether I want to keep it or not, as most of the other ones that I have read about, have much more serious limitations than this. I guess I would consider it to be the best of the worst in terms of its functionality.It's not very fast as an SSD, albeit that wouldn't be the reason for me on its own are we doing to feel the way I do about the product. I think I would prefer something with a hard keypad and just straight buttons that responds properly to user input, but the other ironkey products from Kingston just don't have the storage capacity of this guy.

Perfecto.

This is easy to configure for all its built in security features and have all the hardware one would be looking for in properly encrypted storage. The touch screen is a lot better quality than I was expecting. It is nice and responsive, easy to see and easy to type on. The hardware itself feels quite well made and sturdy.My only negative with this is the speed of the interface. While many using this sort of device are just transferring documents and small files, as someone taking fairly large photographs and videos for work, I usually like my external drives to be higher performance. I'm sure in part it might be due to the overhead of encryption, but at this price I really would have preferred more performance, so that is kind of disappointing. This really should have had a 10Mbps interface instead of 5Mbps, and the drive performance to match.That aside though, this is still a great secure and reliable drive for handling sensitive or confidential files. So it's a definite recommend for anyone that doesn't mind the transfer speed.

Dentro del catálogo de IronKey, esta certificación de seguridad va dos generaciones por detrás de la más nueva y más segura disponible dentro de los productos IronKey. Pero, por contra, es el producto IronKey que más almacenamiento disponible puedes elegir.Es fácil de configurar en su primer uso, aunque recomiendo tener el manual disponible a mano para consultárselo en la configuración inicial. No obstante, dentro del dispositivo se puede encontrar una copia en inglés, y en el sitio web del fabricante lo puedes encontrar en español.Al tacto se le ve un dispositivo de buena calidad. En la caja se incluye un cable USB A y otro cable USB C, así como un pequeño estuche para guardarlo y transportarlo.La pantalla es resistiva, es decir, responde por la presión, al contrario de las pantallas capacitivas a las que estamos acostumbrados en las tabletas y móviles. Puedes usar tus propios dedos o punteros o cualquier tipo de objeto que sirva para ejercer presión, siempre con cuidado de no dañar la pantalla.La velocidad es muy mejorable, pero supongo que en la media de este tipo de dispositivos de seguridad por hardware.Recomiendo mantener una copia de seguridad de los datos, ya que si alguien introduce 15 veces (o las que configures) incorrectamente la contraseña, se borrarán todos los datos del dispositivo y se restablecerá a la configuración inicial.
