IRONKEY BASIC S250 User Manual
IRONKEY BASIC S250 & D250
BUILT TO BE THE WORLD’S MOST SECURE FLASH DRIVES
Designed specifically for enterprise, government and military customers that
need high performance and reliability in their USB flash storage devices,
IronKey Basic S250 and D250 flash drives meet the stringent Security Level 3
requirements of the FIPS 140-2 standard. IronKey Basic S250 and D250 drives
meet the extreme performance and security requirements of some of the
world’s most demanding organizations and are built from the ground up to be
the world’s most secure flash drives. They’re equipped with strong hardware
encryption and use the algorithm approved by the DOD for storing Top Secret
data. A ruggedized, waterproof metal chassis helps protect S250 and D250
drives from the elements, and active anti-malware prevents USB threats from
spreading. IronKey Basic S250 and D250 drives are equipped with a control
panel localized into eight languages around the world.
TWO VERSIONS,
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
Two flavors of secure flash drives allow
you to make the right choice to meet your
mobile security needs.
IronKey Basic S250 Series.
High-performance and extra long-lasting
S250 drives are built to stand up to
continuous use on the road. Dual-channel
SLC flash memory delivers exceptional
performance and longevity.
IronKey Basic D250 Series.
D25 0 drives balance performance and value
for users who don’t require constant access
to data. Same great security as the S250,
with dual-channel MLC flash memory for
reliable read/write performance.
BENEFITS
Easy to use control panel interface that is
localized into eight languages
Store virtual desktops to enable users to
work anywhere
Gain faster file read/write performance
FASTER PERFORMANCE, LONGER LIFE
We build IronKey Basic S250 drives with premium quality dual-channel flash
memory resulting in blistering file read performance of up to 31MB/second.
Premium quality dual-channel SLC flash memory also means longer life:
IronKey Basic S250 drives last up to 5 times longer than drives with traditional
memory. The IronKey Basic D250 also features dual-channel memory and reads
files at up to 29MG/second.
EASIER TO USE, EVERYWHERE
When users insert an IronKey Basic S250 or D250 drive into a laptop or desktop
computer, a redesigned control panel automatically appears to guide them
through password authentication and data access. The new control panel is easier
to use than earlier versions. On Windows and Mac platforms, it’s now available in
English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and
Traditional Chinese. And that translates into fewer calls to your Help Desk.
SAFER, HARDWARE-BASED ENCRYPTION
Flash storage drives that rely on software to enable encryption keys are vulnerable
to cold-boot and malware attacks because they export AES encryption keys to the
host PC. IronKey drives instead use the IronKey Cryptochip, a proven hardwarebased solution that keeps key management on the IronKey drive and off the host
PC. After users plug in an IronKey Basic S250 or D250 drive, they must first
authenticate with a password. Only then does IronKey’s Cryptochip enable the
encryption keys that unlock data and applications.
Enforce encryption policies
Device reset or self-destruction available if
password is forgotten
Minimize risks associated with lost or stolen
drives
Streamline policy compliance
Access data on Windows, Mac or Linux
Easy to deploy and simple to use
No Windows administrative privileges
required
No software or drivers to install

DESIGNED TO FOIL MALWARE AND THIEVES
IronKey’s hardware-based encryption and password verification can’t be
disabled by malware or a careless user. Self-defending IronKey drives also
provide active protections against the spread of worms, crimeware and other
malicious code. And if a thief enters 10 incorrect passwords in an attempt to
break into the drive, the Cryptochip will securely erase all encrypted data.
EASY TO MANAGE, ENDPOINT AWARE
IronKey Basic S250 and D250 work seamlessly with a range of leading
endpoint security software products. Every device has a unique serial number,
making it easy to manage and apply usage policies—even restricting ports
to only a whitelisted set of drives.
PROTECTION THAT NEVER SLEEPS
Unlike software-based encryption, IronKey’s AES 256- bit hardware
encryption is always on and can’t be disabled. And with the IronKey Cryptochip
handling encryption, PC performance doesn’t suffer.
