Product Information

Full details

The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 SSD is designed for professionals and individuals who require robust data security and portability. Its key benefit is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified hardware encryption, ensuring data protection against unauthorized access. A potential caveat is its reliance on a physical keypad for PIN entry, which may be less convenient for some users compared to software-based solutions. This portable SSD offers ultra-secure, PIN-authenticated access with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, making it an ideal solution for safeguarding sensitive information on the go.

FAQs

What does FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification mean?

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 is a U.S. government standard that specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules. Level 3 requires both logical and physical tamper-detection and response, ensuring a very high level of data security.

How does the brute force hack defense work?

The drive's secure microprocessor monitors PIN entry attempts. After a predetermined number of incorrect PIN entries, it enters a 'deadlock frozen state,' rendering the drive inoperable and protecting the data from brute-force attacks. This state is irreversible without a factory reset, which erases all data.

Can I use this drive with my smartphone or tablet?

Yes, the diskAshur PRO2 is compatible with mobile operating systems like Android and can be used with devices that support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality, provided you have the appropriate adapter.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

If you forget your PIN, the drive will eventually lock permanently after too many incorrect attempts. You will need to perform a factory reset on the drive, which will erase all data stored on it. It is crucial to remember your PIN or store it securely.

Is the encryption software-based or hardware-based?

The encryption is hardware-based, utilizing a dedicated secure microprocessor and AES-XTS 256-bit encryption. This means encryption and decryption happen directly on the drive, without relying on your computer's CPU, ensuring better performance and security.

Does the drive require any drivers or software to operate?

No, the diskAshur PRO2 is software-free. It works across all major operating systems and devices that have a USB port without needing any additional drivers or applications.

Troubleshooting

Drive is not recognized by the computer.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try using a different USB port or a different USB cable. Verify that the drive has been unlocked with the correct PIN.

Incorrect PIN entered too many times, and the drive is locked.

The drive enters a deadlock frozen state after a set number of incorrect PIN entries. This is a security feature. To reset the drive, you will need to perform a factory reset, which will erase all data. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on performing a factory reset.

Slow data transfer speeds.

Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 or higher port on your computer for optimal speed. Check that the USB cable is fully functional. Close any unnecessary applications running in the background that might be consuming system resources.

Keypad is unresponsive.

Ensure the drive is properly connected. If the issue persists, try restarting your computer and reconnecting the drive. If the drive has been in use for an extended period, a brief disconnection and reconnection might help.
