In addition to their line of secure, wireless storage devices, SecureData offers a number of more traditional models like the SecureUSB KP. Available in capacities ranging from 4GB up to 128GB, this USB flash drive features a FIPS validated design with military-grade AES 256-bit XTS encryption. Instead of an app on a mobile device though, the data on the drive is unlocked when a user enters their PIN via its onboard keypad. The SecureUSB KP is also equipped with a rugged, extruded aluminum casing that protects it against dust, water and physical damage as well as a USB 3.0 interface capable of delivering up to 152 MB/s read and 118 MB/s write speeds.
