Of course, performance isn’t the lead story with this USB drive. Though it likely won’t be used in such a scenario, it also supports legacy 2.0 connectivity, which lowers speeds to just 30MB/s read and 20MB/s write. The IronKey Locker+ 50 features the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and is quoted to deliver up to 145MB/s read and 115MB/s write in sequential performance. Kingston’s new security-driven flash drive is available in capacities ranging from 16GB to 128GB. The LP50 is highlighted by AES hardware-encryption XTS mode support, which helps protect against attacks like BadUSB (i.e., a security attack that uses USB devices programmed to unleash malicious software) with digitally-signed firmware and Brute Force password attacks. The Kingston IronKey Locker+ 50 (LP50) is a USB flash drive purpose-built for on-the-go consumers or professionals who require extra security for their data.
