I cannot find this information on their website, or in their datasheets.** A: The S1000 uses MLC flash (the "S" stands for Secure, not SLC). Read the FAQ at http://support.ironkey.com/article/AA-03550/194/FAQs.html **Q: How do you get this to work with macos catalina or later? it has a 32-bit app that catalina won't run and it appears not to be updatable.** A: I am running macOS 10.15 Catalina. The short answer (see the longer on in my review) is that you need a Windows PC (hardware, not virtualized) in order to update the unit. I found an unused Mac and installed a Windows 10 instance using Boot Camp; the installer is free to download and there are apparently "temporary" license keys that allow one to boot and use Windows with degraded functionality without cost. You'll need the latest update .EXE file from Kingston. I can confirm this worked. **Q: Does this meet fips 140-2?** A: Yes. I think so. Should be in product pamphlet **Q: is it managed by corperation or for standard private use???** A: From what I've read, both, your choice. May depend on the model, read the fine print. All the models are suitable for private use, just do not allow any entity or person to link the key and maybe avoid using the cloud? ## Frequently Bought Together - Kingston Ironkey S1000 4GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Multi-Password Security Options IKS1000B/4GB - Yubico - YubiKey 5 NFC - Two-Factor authentication (2FA) Security Key, Connect via USB-A or NFC, FIDO Certified - Protect Your Online Accounts - Kingston Ironkey Locker+ 50 32GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive | USB 3.2 Gen 1 | XTS-AES Protection | Multi-Password Security Options | Automatic Cloud Backup | Metal Casing | IKLP50/32GB,Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/29517414-kingston-ironkey-s1000-4gb-encrypted-usb-flash-drive-on-device](https://www.desertcart.no/products/29517414-kingston-ironkey-s1000-4gb-encrypted-usb-flash-drive-on-device) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
