Product Information

Full details

The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 is a professional-grade, hardware-encrypted external SSD designed for individuals and organizations that require the highest level of data protection for sensitive information. By using a physical, integrated keypad for PIN authentication rather than software-based passwords, it offers a truly platform-independent security solution that works with any device possessing a USB port. While it provides robust, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified protection, users must ensure they never lose their unique PIN, as there is no "backdoor" or password recovery option for this high-security device.

FAQs

Can I use this drive on a Mac and a PC simultaneously?

Yes, because the encryption is hardware-based, you can use the same drive across different operating systems without needing to reformat or install specific drivers.

What happens if someone enters the wrong PIN too many times?

The drive features a security mechanism that enters a deadlock frozen state after a set number of failed attempts to prevent brute-force attacks.

Does this drive work with USB-C ports?

Yes, but you will need a USB-A to USB-C adapter. The drive natively features a USB-A connection.

Is the drive water and dust resistant?

Yes, it is designed with protection features that include resistance to dust and water, suitable for rugged, on-the-go use.

Do I need to install any software to set it up?

No. The diskAshur PRO2 is entirely software-free. All security settings and PIN configurations are managed via the physical keypad on the device.

What is the maximum PIN length?

The PIN must be between 7 and 15 digits in length.

Troubleshooting

Device is not recognized by the computer

Ensure you have entered the correct PIN and that the LED indicates the drive is in an unlocked state before connecting it to the computer.

Forgot the user PIN

If the PIN is forgotten, the data cannot be recovered. You must reset the drive to factory settings, which will permanently erase all data on the disk.

Drive enters locked state unexpectedly

The drive automatically locks upon removal from the USB port. Simply re-insert the drive and re-authenticate with your PIN.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Software-free design ensures immunity to malware and keyloggers
  • Works universally on any device with a USB Type-A port
  • High-security FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification
  • Large 8TB capacity for massive data backups
  • Protection against physical tampering and automated brute-force attacks

Cons

  • No way to recover data if the PIN is forgotten
  • Relies on a physical USB Type-A connection which may require adapters for newer USB-C devices
  • Solid state performance is capped by USB 3.2 Gen 1 limits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is entirely manual and software-free. Out of the box, use the keypad to set your initial User PIN. Follow the included manual to establish your preferred access credentials. Because the drive uses hardware-based logic, you do not need to install drivers on your host OS.

Compatibility: It is compatible with virtually every operating system that supports USB mass storage devices, including all versions of Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android. Note that it uses a USB Type-A connector, so you will need a high-quality USB-A to USB-C adapter if you are using a modern laptop without Type-A ports.

Care: To maintain its IP56-level protection, keep the device away from excessive moisture. Although the drive is designed for portability, avoid dropping the unit on hard surfaces as, despite the ruggedization, it is still a high-capacity solid-state drive.
