“Ah, those portable USB drives! Now that the world is moving to USB-C, what will we do? iStorage has created the datAshur SD for just this world. Not only does it have a USB-C jack, but it can be changed out easily with different TF cards, and has a built-in PIN-based security system. Let’s take a look!”

“What makes the DatAshur SD unique is that the USB Flash Drive needs an iStorage Micro SDXC card as it has no built-in memory. This makes the datAshur SD the world’s first, and currently only hardware encrypted, PIN authenticated USB Flash Drive with removable storage. This also allows you to tailor the storage capacity to your needs and increase it as your needs grow”

“As you can see, the datAshur SD is a powerful tool to protect even the most sensitive data. Additionally, with the SD card removed from the drive, neither the drive nor the SD card can be used to try and get access to the data.”

“Our feeling is, if your data is important enough to live on an encrypted drive, it’s important enough to invest in a backup.”

“The iStorage datAshur SD is an excellent hardware encrypted drive that gives you the flexibility to expand the storage for a significantly lower price than buying new drives.

As far as security goes, this ticks all the boxes you need with its military-grade hardware encryption durable design that is both tamper-proof and water-resistant.”

“Taking your data with you on the road can be useful. But how do you keep it safe? iStorage has a solution.”

“The datAshur SD’s design is nice and elegant, and gives a more professional feel, with a high-quality workmanship made entirely of aluminium. Which provides strong protection for the device, and this device is also tested to be rugged, shock-resistant and shatter-resistant, it is good to have these innovative engineering features that protect it from harsh conditions.”

“Ideal for those who need to store lots of data securely, the adaptable DatAshur keeps SD cards locked behind military-grade encryption without any fussy companion software.

While we love flash drives, there’s no doubt that there are times when we’ve wished they’ve been a bit more secure. That’s why iStorage has come up with DatAshur, an ultra-rugged expandable flash drive that features onboard encryption.”

“I can already think of several IT managers who’d salivate at this prospect”

“The new datAshur SD model goes one step further by using a microSD memory card for data storage, instead of internal memory.

It is therefore possible to easily increase the storage capacity, without having to buy a new USB key. And for added security, you can store the card separately, somewhere other than the key.”

“Not only is this state-of-the-art USB flash drive very easy to use, but is also extremely secure. Rather than the classic USB flash-drive design of incorporating fixed memory, iStorage’s brand new datAshur SD is uniquely designed with an integrated microSD Card slot that enables users this data-secure USB-C flash drive with as many iStorage microSD Cards as they desire, and these can even vary in storage capacity as users require.”

“This ultimately offers you a unique, ultra-secure and cost-effective data storage solution that allows you to securely share and scale unlimited encrypted data for any purposes, whether those are business-related or not.”

“Overall, the datAshur SD is one of the most interesting physical security devices that we have seen.”

“The sign of a well-made device is one that has a lot going on behind the scenes, and yet is easy to use.”

“It’s as physically safe as it is digitally safe!”

“Basically, this is the James Bond of flash drives.”

“Verdict: The datAshur SD microSD is an affordable way of encrypting physical and removable data and provides some of the highest levels of encryption available. I love the fact that it uses removable media but would like to see it made compatible with a wider range of microSD cards. This is a vital tool for any corporation or government body that has to use removable media and simply can’t risk data loss. With a tool as affordable and easy to use as the dataShur SD, there simply is no excuse for unencrypted USB drives going missing.”
