Overview:

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, Imation Basic S250 and D250 flash drives powered by IronKey meet the stringent Security Level 3 requirements of the FIPS 140-2 standard. Imation 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. Imation Basic S250 and D250 drives are equipped with a control panel localized into eight languages around the world.

Faster Performance, Longer Life

We build Imation 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: Imation Basic S250 drives last up to 5 times longer than drives with traditional memory. The Imation Basic D250 also features dual-channel memory and reads files at up to 29MB/second.

Easier to Use, Everywhere

When users insert an Imation 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. Imation drives instead use the Imation Cryptochip, a proven hardwarebased solution that keeps key management on the Imation drive and off the host PC. After users plug in an Imation Basic S250 or D250 drive, they must first authenticate with a password. Only then does Imation’s Cryptochip enable the encryption keys that unlock data and applications.

 

Features & Benefits:

D250 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
• 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

Imation’s hardware-based encryption and password verification can’t be disabled by malware or a careless user. Self-defending Imation 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 can disable the device or securely erase all encrypted data and self-destruct.

Easy to Manage, Endpoint Aware

Imation Basic S250 works 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, Imation’s AES 256- bit hardware encryption is always on and can’t be disabled. And with the Imation Cryptochip handling encryption, PC performance doesn’t suffer.
