Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50 Series USB-C 16GB Flash Drive (Blue)

The Kingston IKVP50C/16GB is a USB-C flash drive that offers 16GB of secure storage and fast performance in a device you can carry anywhere. It relies on the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard to reach transfer rates up to 250 MB per second for reading and up to 180 MB per second for writing, so large presentations, design files, or system backups move quickly from your computer to the drive.

Security sits at the core of this model. Data is protected with XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption that meets FIPS 197 certification. The drive resists BadUSB manipulation and repeated brute force password attempts, keeping confidential information safe even if the device is lost. Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery passwords make it possible to regain access without wiping the contents, and a Passphrase Mode lets you create memorable passwords of up to 64 characters. When you need to pass the drive through a heavily scanned environment, you can switch to one of the dual read-only modes that block malware from writing to the device.

These safeguards, combined with the IPX8 rating that withstands water immersion up to four feet, make the Vault Privacy 50C a practical choice for field engineers, traveling executives, legal teams, or anyone who handles sensitive client data away from the office. Plug it into a laptop, workstation, or any other device that has a USB-C port, transfer the files you need, then head out knowing your information is locked down.

Whether you are creating secure archives for compliance, moving patient records between facilities, or carrying source code while working off-site, the IronKey Vault Privacy 50C keeps the workflow simple and the data confidential.
