IRONKEY 4GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive DLGO004

SKU CH-MKS9-EQG3R

Hardware-encrypted 4 GB flash drive with FIPS 197 validation, IP68 rating and NIST 800-88 sanitisation support

  • Hardware-encrypted data protection with FIPS 197 certification
  • Dustproof and waterproof durability backed by IP68 rating
  • Verified authenticity through matching internal and external serial numbers
  • Broad regulatory compliance covering FCC CE and KCC standards
  • Secure data sanitisation aligned with NIST 800 88 guidelines

Encrypted 4 GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive

The IRONKEY DLGO004 is a hardware-encrypted flash drive built for users who must keep sensitive data secure on a portable device. It targets professionals and organisations that require certified protection without relying on software tools. The drive meets FIPS 197 and NIST 800-88 requirements for encryption and sanitisation.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Interface Limits

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A connection, also compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 ports. Throughput is bounded by the 5 Gbps signalling rate of that standard, so large file transfers will not exceed the bus limit. The Type-A form factor requires a matching port or adapter on newer USB-C-only systems.

Rugged IP68 Build and Driver-Free Setup

An IP68-rated casing protects the internals from dust and water immersion, reducing damage risk during transport. No drivers are needed on modern operating systems; the drive presents itself as a standard mass-storage device. Matching internal and external serial numbers aid asset tracking, while the sealed design prevents physical tampering. Users without a Type-A port must add a hub or adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 4 GB model or a larger capacity?

This listing is for the 4 GB version only; choose a higher-capacity model if you need more space for encrypted files.

What does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 rating deliver in everyday use?

It provides USB 3.0 and 3.1 compatible transfer speeds for quick encrypted file moves on any Type-A port.

How does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A interface limit performance?

The Type-A connector caps the drive at USB 3.2 Gen 1 bandwidth, so speeds will not exceed that standard.
