KINGSTON IRONKEY KEYPAD 200 SERIES | FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) Certified Keypad Drive
The Kingston IronKey™ Keypad 200 series are OS-independent hardware-encrypted USB Type-A and USB Type-C® drives with an alphanumeric keypad for easy-to-use PIN access.
The KP200 incorporates XTS-AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. It also is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (Pending) certified for military-grade security with enhancements that further elevate the bar for data protection. Its circuitry is covered by a layer of special epoxy that makes it virtually impossible to remove components without damaging them; this tough epoxy stops attacks against the semiconductor components. The drive is designed to be tamper-evident to alert owners. It also incorporates Brute Force password attack protection, and BadUSB protection with digitally signed firmware. The alphanumeric keypad is coated with a layer of polymer that protects the keys and hides key usage through analysis of fingerprints on the keys.
KP200 series utilizes a built-in rechargeable battery that can be used to unlock the drive first without using any software, and then plug it into any device that supports USB Type-A or USB Type-C mass storage device. This gives users the most flexibility across different platform types and operating systems
With the Multi-PIN option (Admin/User), the keypad can be used to set up an easyto-remember but hard-to guess alphanumeric PIN for the Admin or User accounts. Admin can restore a User PIN and provide access to the drive should the User PIN be forgotten, or if the drive is locked after reaching the maximum of 10 User login attempts. With both Admin and User PINs enabled, KP200 will lock the User PIN after 10 failed login attempts; if the Admin PIN is entered wrong 10 times in a row, Brute Force attack protection will crypto-erase the drive, destroy the data forever, and reset it.
The drive also provides two levels of Read-Only (or Write-Protect) modes - a Global mode that can be set by Admin, and a session-only mode that can be set by User. ReadOnly modes can protect the drive from malware on untrusted systems. In addition, Admin can load content and set the Global Read-Only mode, so that User can access the data but not make any changes. KP200C offers fast dual channel performance on drives with 64GB-512GB capacities.

The IronKey Keypad 200 512GB USB-C flash drive is hardware-encrypted storage with PIN access, suited to people who need to carry sensitive files on a Type-C device.
Recommended For
- People who carry confidential files between locations—such as legal, financial, or client documents—and want PIN access and hardware encryption without installing unlock software on each computer.
- Travelers who want offline copies of important documents, such as travel or identity records, on a drive that can be unlocked on compatible devices without relying on computer-installed software.
- Teams that need PIN-protected removable storage across different operating systems or USB-C devices, including environments where installing drive-unlock software is inconvenient.
- Organizations or individuals who need a high-capacity portable drive for sensitive files and value physical PIN entry, read-only options, and hardware-based encryption over a simple plug-in-and-copy workflow.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When carrying sensitive work or personal documents between locations, the user enters a PIN on the drive before accessing files; hardware encryption helps keep stored data protected if the drive is lost.
- When moving files between computers with different operating systems, the user unlocks the drive with its keypad and connects it as USB storage; the PIN-based access does not depend on installing unlock software on each computer.
- When handing off reference files that should not be changed, the user can enable read-only mode before sharing; recipients can access the files without accidentally overwriting them.
- When transporting large project folders, photos, or video files, the 512GB drive provides room for sizable file collections; real-world testing of another Keypad 200 capacity found it handled mixed file transfers, though transfer times varied by file size and type.
- When carrying a working copy of confidential files for travel or off-site work, the user can unlock the drive directly with its keypad on arrival, then access or transfer the files through a compatible USB-C connection.
