IronKey has built its Eagerness
D200 and S200 USB flash drives to withstand
even-handed about anything thrown at it. And I made it my goal to find out how much of
a beating it could actually take.
The USB
flash drives are stern, waterproof to MIL-STD-810F
specifications and meet Security Horizontal 3 of FIPS 140-2. A tamper-resistant and
tamper-unmistakable design houses flash memory storage and a crypto chime in, which
provides AES 256-bit encryption in CBC
mode.
For those who are price
impressionable, the D200 series uses MLC flash memory, while the S200 series uses
SLC shoot memory to provide faster performance and longer matter life. Both
series share the same physical characteristics. The S200 is priced at $79 for a
1GB prototype, $199 for 8GBs and $299 for 16GB. The D200 is priced at $99 for a 4GB
ideal, $129 for 8GB and $299 for 32GB. The management service costs $24 per
narcotic addict per year.
The IronKey drives are extraordinarily solidly constructed
of shoot memory embedded in military-grade epoxy wrapped in a fix piece
aluminum casing. To put it concisely, I beat the underworld out of these things. I
blame IronKey for encouraging me by sending me seven assess units. I felt like I
should just keep finding new ways to torture them.
