Product Information

Full details

The iStorage diskAshur² is designed for professionals, government agencies, and privacy-conscious users who require military-grade data protection in a portable form factor. Its primary benefit is providing hardware-based, software-independent AES-XTS 256-bit encryption, ensuring your data remains inaccessible without the correct PIN. While this offers unparalleled security, users must remember that if the PIN is lost or forgotten, the data stored on the drive cannot be recovered, as there are no master passwords or backdoors.

FAQs

What happens if I forget my PIN?

For security reasons, there is no recovery method. If the PIN is forgotten, the data cannot be accessed.

Do I need to install any software to use this drive?

No, the diskAshur² is completely software-free and works on any OS that supports USB mass storage.

Can I use this on both Windows and Mac?

Yes, because the encryption is handled by the hardware, it is fully compatible with any OS that supports USB connections.

Is the drive resistant to water?

Yes, it is IP56 certified, providing protection against dust and water spray.

How many PINs can be configured?

The device allows for an Admin PIN and user PINs to provide flexible access control.

Troubleshooting

Drive does not mount after PIN entry

Ensure the drive is in the unlocked state (LED indicator should confirm). Try reconnecting the USB cable to a different port or system.

LED indicates an error or block

The drive may have entered a security lockout due to repeated incorrect PIN attempts. Consult the manual regarding the administrative PIN override or reset procedures.

Slow transfer speeds

Ensure the drive is plugged into a USB 3.0 or higher port. Using a USB 2.0 port will significantly limit data transfer rates.
