Kingston Versus IronKey - Who Has The Fastest FIPS Flash Dri

Post by Apoptosis »

On paper one USB Flash drive might be faster than another, but you can't believe everything a company tells you when they are marketing a product they are trying to sell you. Since security is such a big deal to corporations these days we decided to order in some FIPS 140-2 validated drives and do some testing of our own. We didn't want to get 'cherry picked' samples, so we ordered in as many drives as our $1000 self-prescribed budget would allow.

On paper it looks like the IronKey solutions should be faster, but you can't believe everything a company tells you when they are marketing a product they are trying to sell you. Since security is such a big deal to corporations these days we decided to order in these Flash drives and do some testing of our own. We've heard rumors and have experienced ourselves that review sites often get 'cherry picked' samples, so we ordered in as many drives as our $1000 self-prescribed budget would allow. You can look at our receipts from Amazon.com, TigerDirect.com and PConnection if you'd like!
