Kingston's DataTraveler memory sticks are a popular option with many users who require encryption and password protection for important files, but its new IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD (VP80ES) is in a different league altogether. This USB solid-state drive uses hardware-based encryption technology that was originally developed by IronKey specifically for US military and government organisations, before the company was acquired by Kingston in 2016. 

Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 80: An OS-independent hardware-encrypted external SSD (480GB-1.92TB) with a touch-screen interface.
