Secure portable storage
The Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 is a 128GB encrypted USB flash drive built for users who must protect sensitive data on the move. Its integrated keypad allows PIN entry directly on the device before it connects to any host. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification is pending, confirming a high security baseline for regulated environments.
Driver-free hardware encryption
Because encryption and authentication happen inside the drive, it works with any operating system or device that supports standard USB mass storage. No software installation, drivers, or administrator rights are required on the host machine. Multi-PIN support separates Admin and User roles, while a global or session read-only mode prevents accidental or malicious writes.
Silent solid-state operation
With no moving parts, the drive runs completely silent and draws power only from the USB port. AES-256 encryption is handled by the onboard controller without adding noticeable latency during normal file transfers. Low heat output means it stays cool during extended use in laptops, desktops, or embedded systems.

Questions about this item
How many failed PIN attempts does the IronKey Keypad 200 allow before it locks or wipes?
The drive enforces a strict attempt counter; after the set number of consecutive incorrect PIN entries the device locks and requires an admin PIN or will erase its encryption key.
Does the keypad or onboard electronics become noticeably warm during continuous read/write operations?
The hardware encryption engine and keypad draw very little power, so the casing stays at near-ambient temperature even during sustained transfers.
What host interface must the computer provide for the drive to function?
A standard USB Type-A port is required; the drive is OS-independent and needs no extra drivers or software.
