The IronKey Vault Privacy 80 ES comes in a largish box with a good clear image of the drive on the front. The background of the front of the box is covered in binary code with the IronKey logo picked out in a lighter colour. Right at the top of the box is a label showing the capacity of the drive while. under the drive. are displayed three of the drives features; Multi-Password, 256-bit AES-KTS encryption and OS independent.
The rear of the box has another image of the drive, under which sit some multi-lingual marketing text.
The blue finished drive enclosure is constructed from a mix of plastic and zinc. The inclusion of zinc is handy as it helps dissipate any heat generated by the drive. The front of the drive is dominated by the coloured touchscreen which measures 58 x 44mm. The screen isn't flush mounted but sits in a recess. If you have large fingers then using the screen is a little awkward, to say the least. It's much easier to use a stylus but for some reason, Kingston didn't think to bundle one with the drive which is a bit frustrating.
The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C interface.
Bundled with the drive is a good quality zipped Neoprene travel case, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-A cables and a Quick Start Guide.
