Password Options
Customers have mixed opinions about the password options on the Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50, but generally positive. The product offers multiple password options including administrative and user passwords, pass phrases, and dual read-only write protect. Some users appreciate the ability to set up multiple user profiles and use pass phrases, while others find it requires a password every time it's plugged in and access to encrypted data requires both possession of the device and the correct password (or pass phrase).

For the amount of money this cost, you are paying more for security rather than memory size.
It's not expensive for the smallest size, and it will keep your data secure with the xts-aes 256-bit encryption.
Packaging/appearance
Got them for the security, but didn’t need them to be encased in metal.
Competitiveness
In my opinion the 2 best are apricorn and kingston.
Buy an additional product that is either the same as this, or a variation of an encrypted flash drive offered by kingston.
There are only a few companies making secure flash drives like this.
The price is high for an 8gb device (much like the enterprise ones) but not as much as the enterprise grade ones.
