## Description

From the manufacturer Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD Hardware-encrypted for Data Protection Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD is Kingston’s first innovative OS-independent hardware-encrypted external SSD with touch-screen for data protection. VP80ES safeguards against Brute Force attacks and BadUSB with digitally-signed firmware. Brute Force attack protection crypto-erases the drive if the Admin and User passwords are entered incorrectly 15 times¹ in a row by default. The drive is FIPS 197 certified with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption using a Common Criteria EAL5+ (CC EAL5+) certified secure microprocessor, and is TAA compliant. As innate as unlocking a smartphone and simple drag & drop file transfers, VP80ES is designed to protect data while being user-friendly. Featuring an intuitive colour touch-screen and multi-password (Admin and User) option with numeric PIN or passphrase modes, Vault Privacy 80ES is superior to using the internet and Cloud services to safeguard data. Whether it’s important company information, client documents, or high-res images and videos, the drive is ideal for small-to-medium businesses (SMB) to content creators. It comes bundled with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 adaptor cables, USB Type-C² to Type-A and Type-C to Type-C, to allow for easy connection to computers and other devices. VP80ES makes for the perfect companion when you need secured data and content out in the field or on-the-go to enable portable productivity and convenience all in the palm of your hand. Admin can enable a User password and set up security options, such as configuring password requirements by setting the maximum number of shared attempts, minimum password length of 6-64 characters, and alphanumeric password rules. Additionally, you can utilise the ‘space’ character making it easier to remember a passphrase as a list of words, a memorable quote, or lyrics from a favourite song. Otherwise, use the PIN pad to unlock just as you would on a mobile device and to reduce failed login attempts and frustration by tapping the “eye” button to view the password as entered. As an added feature, when a User password is forgotten, the Admin password can be used to access data and restore User access. FIPS 197 Certified with XTS-AES 256-bit Encryption Unique Intuitive Touch-screen Multi-Password (Admin/User) Option with PIN/Passphrase modes Configurable Password Rules Dual Read-Only (Write Protect) Modes for Malware Protection 1.Brute Force attack protection crypto-erase adjustable from 10-30 password attempts. 2.USB Type-C and USB-C are registered trademarks of USB Implementers Forum. 3.Hardware Certified with built-in protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tampering and physical attacks.

Review: Très fiable - Fonctionne parfaitement, mais obligation d'utiliser un stylet non fourni si on veut entrer un mot de passe rapidement dans erreur de frappe, j'apprécie la sécurité haute performance et la destruction immèdiate des données en cas de tentatives d'intrusion. Point négatif prix un peu élevé !
Review: Segurança de informações - Ótima opção para dados com sigilo. O preço porém é alto para os padrões brasileiros

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Très fiable
*by C***N on 27 January 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Segurança de informações

Ótima opção para dados com sigilo. O preço porém é alto para os padrões brasileiros

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bueno y bonito pero algo grande
*by D***O on 10 October 2024*

Es más grande de lo que creí lamentablemente esto comparandólo con un disco duro mecánico (HDD) de 1 TB/2TB (mismo tamaño, da igual). La pantalla sí que es cierto que no agarra muy bien en las esquinas o bordes por ser pantalla resistiva pero que se soluciona teniendo más cuidado o precisión al presionar con los dedos o simplemente toma un stylus, un bolígrafo o inclusive la tapa de un bolígrafo y presiona con ello. Por cierto, trae 2 cables: USB C a USB A y otro de USB C a USB C y funda protectora. ¿Costoso? Sí, pero más barato el precio por almacenamiento qué la memoria USB Ironkey con el precio a pagar de que es menos portable que la memoria. Cabe recordar que estos tipos de productos encriptados son especiales y no son para todos ni para toda la información por lo tanto también se entiende el precio. La considero para diferentes usos la SSD y esta USB. Esta la considero más para concentrar toda la información que queramos o tengamos y la USB para información más específica que tal vez la queramos transportar de manera más eficiente o queramos que este siempre con nosotros. ¿Te preocupa que pueda acceder la NSA a este SSD, alguna agencia de inteligencia o algun gobierno local? Pues este no es para ti. Es más para "mortales" que no quieran meterse en el mundo de la encriptación y softwares y que simplemente no quieran dejar al alcance la información de esta SSD a otros "mortales" y que aún así si usas softwares de encriptación se puede forzar siendo la única alternativa real la destrucción física asegurada del dispositivo de almacenamiento. Sí puedes saltarte la seguridad ("encriptación") de la SSD abriéndolo y sabiendo un poco de electrónica. Recomiendo comprarle unos velcros para sujetar cables, tener mínimo 1 copia de seguridad extra (o sea 2 SSD) en otra locación y complementarlo con cosas extras que cada uno requiera como tal vez puede ser: meterlo en una bolsa de Faraday, una bolsa ignífuga, algún estuche hermético, etc. O si el caso lo amerita asesorarse con un experto en ciberseguridad según necesidades y requerimientos de cada a quien.
