“I think the diskAshur2 is the Fort Knox of hard drives! It is ultra-secure but easy to use. Unlike solutions such as Microsoft’s Bitlocker, the diskAshur2 requires no software and is compatible with any operating system. I see the physical aspect of the diskAshur2’s numeric PIN keyboard as a great offering for IT businesses. Software-based encryption tools need setting up across multiple computers. The diskAshur2 uses a security method in a PIN that everybody is familiar with and requires little training.”

“The iStorage specification tells us this is the world’s first and only NCSC CPA, FIPS 140-2 Level 2/3, LNLCSA BSPA and NATO restricted level certified encrypted portable hard drive – a lot of initials, let’s look into that…..These are impressive—and more importantly—real specifications.”
“If you value the security, you may feel (as I do) that the strict defence system of the diskAshur PRO2 more than justifies the £200ish price of the 500GB SSD version under review here. What we’ve got here is a sturdy, fast, thoroughly documented portable drive designed and assembled in the UK. It offers first-class security and comes with a two-year warranty. If data you’re moving about is worth protecting, this is the way to do it.”

“datashur Pro² is protected by FIPS-140-2, and is certified to NATO (Restricted Level) and the British National Cyber Security Centre accreditation. Although a security vulnerability could be identified in the future, according to today’s Level of knowledge – the datashur Pro² is well suited for security in the transport of sensitive data.”

“The datAshur PRO² USB flash drive from iStorage is their highest capacity flash drive, with capacities available up to 512GB! This is portable enough to take everywhere, whilst also giving users the opportunity to keep all their private files all in one safe and secure place” “iStorage uses an impressive amount of technology to make these flash drives secure enough for government usage…In addition to the incredible data security that the datAshur PRO² offers, this flash drive also offers a bootable feature, meaning that it’s possible to install an entire operating system directly onto the flash drive and use it as a boot drive. This allows you to essentially carry your computer’s functionality in your pocket, and can be opened on any other PC whilst remaining completely separate.”

“Performance wise, the datAshur PRO² has received a major speed upgrade from the datAshur PRO…..it was also nicely fast in our windows file transfer tests….”
“Only those who handle genuinely sensitive files should invest in the datAshur PRO², although in fairness it performs its role well, however niche and costly it is.”

“Some products you get offered for review, and you just have to say yes. I’ve been trying out this datashur Pro 2 review sample from @istorage for the past few weeks. The keypad is for exactly what you expect: locking down your data so no one can access it without a code you select. Walking around Brooklyn with a pocket full of rental documents this past weekend, it gave me some peace of mind.

“Uses Really fast USB 3.2”
“Comes in a really nice case”
“Super, super secure…works really well”
“I know that my files are safe…if you work in an environment where you’ve got highly sensitive documents, then something like this is essential.”
“datAshur PRO² is definitely worth picking up!”

“The drive itself is very sleek….The drive may be longer than more common flash drives but it is narrow enough to still be used side-by-side with most other USB devices”
“It performed spectactularly!… The advertised speeds are within what I was able to measure, and more than fast enough for using as a bootable drive!
“Throughout testing the datAshur PRO2 worked as advertised in every way. It is a very rugged USB flash drive that will protect your data very well!
“I didn’t have any issues with the drive, having ran it through a gauntlet of tests which it survived; rain and submersion in water “
“The iStorage datAshur PRO2 flash drive works great for both storing and protecting your data!”

“Indeed, the datAshur PRO² is one of the speediest thumb drives I’ve used, if not the fastest. I tested it the way I do other portable drives, and, via a USB 3.2 Gn 1, it averaged some 110MB/s for writing and some 130MB/s for reading. These were very impressive for a thumb drive.”
