Kingston Digital has introduced a very unusual external SSD called IronKey Vault Privacy 80. The main focus of the novelty was on the protection of personal data.

So, for example, the solid-state drive for the first time is equipped with hardware data encryption independent of the operating system. In this case, the device is controlled through its own touch screen.

The Kingston IronKey VP80ES is reportedly FIPS 197 certified and supports 256-bit XTS-AES encryption.

At the same time, there are three models for users to choose from: 480 GB, 960 GB and 1920 GB.
