I found out that the Iron Key flash USB drives use SLC memory in S200 series but noticed this:

When an IronKey drive is plugged into a laptop
or desktop computer, the user must authenticate
with a password before encryption keys are
enabled and data and applications are accessible. Unlike software-based encryption, the
IronKey Cryptochip does not export AES encryption keys to the host PC, thereby protecting
against cold-boot and malware attacks.

will these IronKey be useable on the BDP1?

Hi Dan,

That's a new one on me - will ask engineering.

just added link to my post James if you want more info

Hi Dan,

My software engineer wanted to know why you wanted to use this particular drive as your paying a lot for the encryption chip? Is it the SLC chip you prefer over MLC?

I do not care about the encryption chip at all. From research I have done these are the only SLC memory flash usb drives on the market now. Other companies has dropped SLC all together in USB flash drives.  I would purchase the Basic S200 series, not the more expensive Personal or Enterprise series.

So are you assuming the SLC would sound better or just the longer read/write capability?

longer read/write plus longer life in general, not sure if there be any effect on sound

Hi Dan

Without trying one i can not be 100% but I see no reason why the drives should not work just fine. Also I would recommend reformatting the key to fat32 if you do have any issues.
