Overview

An onboard encryption chip scrambles every file written to this Kingston drive, unlocking only with the right password. Separate admin and user passwords let an IT lead recover access while a staff member carries the drive.

Hardware encryption in a light key sized drive protects tax files, contracts and credentials. Its smaller capacity fills fast with photos or video.

Who it's for

Staff handling confidential paperwork get a drive that stays locked when lost. Anyone archiving media should choose a larger capacity.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Admin password for recovery
  • Light and small
Cons
  • Type A connector only
  • Slower writes than reads

Performance notes

Because encryption happens inside the drive, speed stays steady regardless of the computer. Small files transfer quickly, while large batches run at the lower write rate.

Frequently asked questions

Is 32GB enough on the Kingston IronKey Locker+?

It suits documents and records. Large photo or video libraries fill 32 GB quickly, so the larger capacity version may fit better.

Up to 145MB/s read and 115MB/s write.

What happens if I forget the user password on the IronKey Locker+?

The listing describes Admin and User password options, so an admin password can be set as a second way in. Recovery steps beyond that are not described.
