It's worth stressing this point. The IronKey has hardware encryption, while almost all other secure Flash drives out there use software encryption. So crypto operations take place on the drive, not in memory, where they could, potentially, be tapped. Passwords are not stored in the drive's file system, but in a separate part of the hardware. The encryption keys are not held in the Flash memory.

IronKey also uses a version of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Tor anonymity tool for preventing sites you view from working out who you might be.

IronKey is pretty good value given the much more sophisticated level of physical and online security it provides. The write speed is a let-down, as is the need to cough up more cash year after year to get all the benefits - we'd have preferred just a higher up-front cost. Still, if you want the ultimate in USB and online data security, the IronKey appears to be it.
