Read our full Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 review (opens in new tab). It’s expensive by storage standards, but the VP80ES is a solid attempt at providing an easy-to-use, transportable and secure repository. Out of the box, it comes with a soft carry pouch and two cables for USB-A and USB-C connections. The storage component is an SSD, although this drive can only achieve reading and writing of around 250MB/s over a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection. And, the drive will erase the contents if too many passwords are incorrectly entered. Kingston designed it to cope with various potential attacks, including BadUSB and even physical intrusion into the mechanism. If you choose to use File Explorer, go to This PC, right-click or press-and-hold on the USB drive that you want to encrypt, and select 'Turn on BitLocker. Secure encrypted storage devices once required software to be installed to provide a means to input the decryption key, but the Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 circumvents the need for that with an inbuilt touch screen.Īvailable in 480GB, 960GB and 1920GB capacities, the VP80ES, as it's also known, sports FIPS 197 certified security and a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified secure microprocessor. To encrypt a USB drive in Windows 10, you have to start the BitLocker Drive Encryption wizard, which you can open either from File Explorer or from the Control Panel.
