Imation has designed the first and only Flash USB drive which has
been certified by Microsoft to be a Windows 8 'Windows To Go' device.
Labeled the IronKey Workspace, this unique USB dongle is an improved
version to Imation's already in use IronKey flash drive which featured
hardware -based AES 256-bit full disk encryption. It can average read
speeds of 300 MB/sec, and around 200 MB/sec write speeds. Imation added
super-fast USB 3.0 support and flash memory, giving birth to a monster
flash drive capable of outperforming the average drive, delivering five
times the minimum average read and write speeds needed to operate the
new Windows to Go feature.
What is Windows to go?
Windows To Go is a new feature of the recently released Windows 8 Enterprise, it allows users who are always on the go to load a copy of the Windows 8 Operating System right unto a flash drive and conveniently take with them for use on another Windows PC. The idea is that the user can boot up off the drive and work in Windows 8 by simply plugging this flash drive into the PC via the USB slot and voila! You are in business.
The Difference
The IronKey Workspace differs its self from other drives capable of working with the Windows To Go feature not only because it's the only USB drive which has received Microsoft's seal of approval, making it the only one that Microsoft officially supports. Specially designed for the purpose, the IronKey can boot up into Windows 8 faster than the average dongle, although it depends on the speed of the computer the average boot time runs under a minute. The unique design of the Ironkey Workspace enables Windows To Go to operate fluently, creating less ware and stress which would occur when running an Operating System from a standard flash drive. Imation has designed the IronKey Workspace with the ability to withstand the extra workload this operation would demand.
This device has been designed with an on-board encryption and password-protection feature which gives added security, so if the device is lost or stolen all its data remains safe. The electronic innards of the device are safely encased in epoxy to prevent tampering, while the outer casing is protected by a tough metal shell. Carrying price tags of $129 for the 32BG version, $215 for the 64GB and $389 for the 128GB, the IronKey Workspace has an on-board software which will wipe your data from the device after a pre-set number of incorrect passwords have been attempted. The entire drive is dirt, dust, and water resistant.
