“The diskAshur² SSD definitely isn’t for everyone. However, for those who have files they wish to securely store or transfer from one place to another, the diskAshur2 SSD is definitely a solid choice for doing so.”

“I have previously reviewed a couple of the Apricorn Aegis products and in comparison to these the iStorage diskashur² offers tremendous value for money”

“For business owners, I would say a device like this is essential to secure anything sensitive such as client data, business finances and generally anything you would prefer not to be stolen, and for business owners the cost of such a drive is negligible…Even for home users, I think this is a wise investment, 2TB can store a LOT of information, you are not going to be using this to back up your movies and MP3s. Even the 1TB model should be more than adequate to store all your financial and personal information.”
“While it is expensive, it is cheaper than its competitors. Hardware encryption also offers superior security and usability over software alternatives. So for anyone serious about data security, this is a great buy.”

“While it is possible to use a two-factor identification, the iStorage secure storage specialist has decided to go further. In addition, the level of security is high since the files can be decrypted only if the person has the device and the PIN code, as well as the connection parameters of the program and the Cloud account. The CloudAshur USB key will be available in August .“

“If we see it focused on the company, where confidential data can be handled, of course it is highly recommended.”

“diskAshur² is the ultimate encrypted hard drive for storing and protecting precious data”

“The price is high, but when you consider the level of protection that DT 2 possesses, it becomes reasonable. Real-time advanced data encryption (AES-XTS 256), no loss of speed, PIN-protected access, high-quality keyboard and advanced security mechanisms, high-quality and resilient housing, disk lock, and everything else guarantee data security”

“If you’re looking for a robust external hard drive that keeps your important files safe from risks with some tough security measures – both physical and software – the iStorage external hard drives are worth buying”,

“If you often carry important and sensitive documents, Diskashur 2 is a great device that deserves money for peace of mind if offered”

“datAshur Pro is a very robust and secure device, which is easy to use and invaluable in protecting any sensitive data.”

“iStorage provides datAshur Pro with a three year limited warranty, and its price in Croatia is around 1,600 kuna. It can seem like a high amount, but considering the possibilities it offers to protect essential data, the price is justified.”

“iStorage International came up with a brilliant idea behind the product that we will show you today that provides everything you need in one device Called iStorage DiskAshur Pro 2 SSD”

“The testing conducted against this device has gone well beyond attempting to guess the key sequence,” he said. “The core technology of all iStorage devices has also been subjected to penetration testing and attack at the lower levels of the operating stack, including physical tampering, all of which proved that robust security is provisioned.”

“IStorage datAshur Pro is an easy-to-use and encrypted USB 3.0 flash drive that uses PIN access with 256-bit XTS-AES hardware encryption.”  

“If your confidentiality and data protection is the priority, this kind of USB flash disk will certainly be of great use to you”

“The attention to detail is beautiful…it’s a security must-have for anyone who handles data worth protecting”

“The days of a fireproof lockable file cabinet for your most important documents are long gone – everything is digital now. The iStorage datAshur PRO secure flash drive looks like any other flash drive storage but it has a tiny keypad on the outside. All of your files are encrypted and the only way to access them is to punch in your PIN ode. This thing uses military grade encryption so the chances of someone accessing your data without the code are zero to none. It’s also dust and water resistant. This is a great way for Dad to store all of those important tax documents and family records without the fear that they will fall into the wrong hands.”

“Have you got a ‘tech-enthusiast dad’ in your life and are always wondering what to get them this Father’s Day? Look no further than iStorage and their new diskAshur range of colourful hard drives and solid-state drives – perfect for storing family and work documents without the fear of the data getting lost or stolen!

Plus with the HDD available in capacity options from 500GB to 5TB, there will be plenty of space for all the family.”

“There are secure portable drives with hardware encryption options, like the Samsung T5 or the WD My Password, and then there’s the iStorage diskAshur PRO2. This digital storage device is so secure that Donald J. Trump would probably pick it to store his tax returns when he could grasp the significance of “digital.”
“…the diskAshur PRO2 is really an ultra-secure storage device. It’s a tamper-proof vault, complete with a numeric keypad, that has an ample storage space on the inside. Yet, it manages to remain almost as compact as a regular portable drive.”
“if you want to make absolutely sure that the information you carry along safe from the prying eyes, look no further than the diskAshur PRO2.”
“The diskAshur PRO2 is very fast for a hard drive-based portable storage device, topping the chart on writing performance at almost 130 megabytes per second. In reading tests, it was a tad slower at 127MB/s. In all this drive is the fastest among hard drive-based portable drives I’ve tested.”

“The diskAshur˛ is a must have product this year! so simple to use and stores your files with a secure pin code. This is the perfect partner for taking on the train with you. When creating storage devices, companies forget the visual appeal of the product. However, iStorage has created these sleek colours with personality”.

“The datAshur Pro is a robust and secure device that is easy to use and priceless in protecting any sensitive data. The cap and seal provide water and dust resistance, real-time AES-XTS 256-bit encryption ensures data protection, and PIN prevents any unauthorized access. Very useful for organizations is also the ability to set up a user and administrator PIN, for example by setting only the user’s reading rights. Even if you forget the unlocked device that is plugged into a USB port, it is possible to set its automatic lock at a certain time. The performance of the device is solid and will record data at about 30 MB / s when it’s not very small files (we wrote from it 8.524 MB of data for 273 seconds, which is about 31.1 MB / s).
iStorage at datAshur Pro provides a three year limited warranty, and its price in Croatia is about 1,600 kuna. It may seem like a high amount, but given the opportunities it offers to protect essential data, the price is justified. It is also useful to know that in Europe this device can also be purchased at a cheaper price of 155 € (64GB).”

“The ask for this 512GB SSD is a step $271 right now but considering the certifications and features involved – it will be a bargain for the right target market..”
“The performance of the diskAshur PRO² was very impressive…Transfer rates are also sustained throughout transfers which means you won’t get a faster speed at the start which degrades over time – this performance will sustain itself throughout the SSD’s life.”
“The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 is expensive and is clearly not an SSD you buy if you are out on a budget but is for the professional that does not want to sacrifice the slightest bit of security. Every aspect of the design – from encryption fallbacks to physical ruggedness are a showcase of how much thought went into its development. Coming from the company that brought us the world’s first portable encrypted storage (DiskAshur Pro) this is hardly surprising and makes this the perfect drive to buy for the security professional.”

“The security features are impressive, and really go above and beyond. You may be thinking to yourself, “I don’t need that much security”.

“The build quality is excellent…as an external drive, the diskAshur˛ performs well. It’s not much bigger than a regular drive and its competitive specs-wise. With fraudsters getting better at extracting useful data from unencrypted and incorrectly wiped or destroyed drives, iStorage diskAshur˛ offers a simplified data-encryption solution.”

“For the CEO that needs super secure data management and files kept safely with no risk of third party access, this hard drive meets several worldwide security certifications, including FIPS 140-2 Level 2/3 (US), NCSC CPA (UK), NLNCSA BSPA (NL), NATO Restricted level, This is some serious tech, all encapsulated in a fairly portable drive with decent, manageable speeds”

“It’s super neat, with a sleek professional look.”

“If you need to keep your data or your client’s data safe, this is your best solution.”

“The diskAshur 2 external SSD boasts high levels of protection with hardware encryption and a keypad to gain entry, but even with the enhanced level of security, the drive is easy to use and offers more than enough performance for the majority of its potential users…. To be fair, the main focus of the drive is on its security credentials, so performance may not necessarily be on the potential user’s ideal features list, but the speeds achieved are certainly nothing to complain about, even for power users. “

It benefits from military certifications. It resists dust and water (IP57 certification). Available in capacities from 4GB to 64GB.”

“There is no getting away from the fact that the diskAshur PRO2 is expensive. The 2TB version we have here has an RRP of Ł329, but can be bought at the time of writing at the slightly lower price of Ł300 at Amazon UK. If we put the price aside for a moment, this thing is a premium product. Build quality is rock solid, and it couldn’t be easier to use. Given that a huge amount of security failures are down to human error, that’s a really big selling point here. Performance is as good as you can expect from a mechanical hard drive”

“There is no better product on the market, no product that has won as many awards, and no companies that have won the accolades that iStorage have.”

“Our Platinum award is given to the products that are the best of the best, irrespective of cost…and that’s what I’m giving the iStorage diskAshur PRO²”

“This memory is primarily intended for use by companies and governments as well as people who want to secure their important data in the event of loss of memory or inadvertently travel anywhere, for fear of tampering or leaking files or data that may cause problems, the data inside the memory will be yours only All you need is to enter your PIN code and without any data access, this type of protection is also associated with an attractive design that is resistant to water and dust, so if you want this protection there is no better memory than the iStorage datAshur PRO”

The drive also utilizes a dedicated on-board Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor to protect itself from any external tampering, bypass laser attacks and fault injections. Despite its many layers of security, the diskAshur PRO² is very easy to use. Simply plug it into a USB port, enter your PIN on the keypad, and you have access to your data.”

“When I tested the datAshur Pro USB drive, I talked a bit about the advantages and disadvantages of using either type of encryption and the same principles can be applied in the case of the iStorage diskAshur 2. The Microsoft Windows 10 OS comes with BitLocker as a free option and it is a reliable way to password-secure your HDD drives, being able to offer some amount of protection for your data. But the encryption is still as secure as your computer (or mobile device where the encryption/decryption process will happen), so, considering that barely any computer is left unconnected to the Internet, you are left a lot more vulnerable than you would by using a hardware-type encryption.”

“The iStorage diskAshur 2 is a rugged external HDD built to offer full protection for the stored data by relying on the real-time military grade AES 256-bit hardware encryption (XTS mode) and ensuring that without the PIN, any type of attack is rendered useless. These type of devices have been around for quite a bit, being very common in the corporate world where data safety is the number one priority, so the targeted audience for iStorage is mainly the companies, while the consumer market may be a bit more reserved on adopting this type of security solution.”

“An article featuring the diskAshur PRO² and diskAshur DT² by Professor John Walker.”

“The Possibilities to protect or control its Data are therefore very diverse. iStorage has, of course, also been certified. NCSC CPA (UK), NLNCSA BSPA (NL), NATO Restricted level and FIPS 140-2 Level 3, which is the second highest Standard for computer security in the US. However, the external Hard Drive is almost as easy to use as a normal Hard drive, with the Exception of pin input. This Concept seems to be extremely successful.”
“Many thoughtful Features and strong Encryption reliably protect Data from unauthorized Access.”

“The disk provides an excellent level of protection for your data it will be impossible to access one of the files that exist without your permission and therefore the disk will be an excellent option for those who want to secure their data and have a fear of loss or theft.”

“The company also focuses on intensive research and development as well as leading manufacturing processes to deliver high-performance products with capacities ranging from 4GB to 14TB, which operate on any device that has a USB connection and compatible with any operating system. It also works to combine the power of encryption of PIN data and intensity of use and Easy use of computers to ensure the highest level of protection available, giving you peace of mind against theft or loss of confidential data.”

“To accommodate the physical medium in the form of a disk, my choice over the years has been the iStorage, now at the version of diskAshur PRO (available up to 5TB) for the on-the-road engagements, and a secondary office-based secure drive facility in the form of a iStorage diskAshur DT² (available up to 14TB), which is used to backup any Case Management materials and acquired artifacts again, stored securely, and completely off-line when access is not required.”

“If one has crucial files that need to be transferred and kept safe, the iStorage diskAshur2²SSD looks to be a pretty safe bet..looking at performance, the iStorage diskAshur2²SSD lived up to its claims… For high-security storage, the iStorage diskAshur2²SSD checks off all the boxes while also providing the performance it promises.”

“iStorage has made another great external hard drive in the diskAshur², which offers unrivaled hardware-based security. The keypad enables you to physically lock down your data, while the small yet rugged body keeps your data protected like Fort Knox. It is a little pricey compared to other external hard drives, but the additional security and thoughtfulness in design makes this device the top of the heap in it’s category and class, and the price is well worth it.”

“A straight forward solution to protecting sensitive data.”

“We live in an age in which our security is important, and talking about their own safety, I mean the private data. In the market there is a producer who is very serious about data encryption and security . The iStorage datAshur Personal2 a flash drive , which encrypts using the physical keyboard built into the device.”

“The iStorage datAshur Personal2 is a memory stick primarily for people who value data security – in this respect, the device is great and definitely worth attention.”

“datAshur² PRO is ideally positioned to secure data from unauthorised access, even when lost or stolen. It is ideal for those looking to store data whether at home or on the go – and can also be laser etched with your loved one’s name on the case should you wanted to include a loving message! “

“In summary, it can be said that iStorage has brought on the market the diskashur² a well-designed, flawlessly functioning and visually appealing niche product.”

“The very secure encryption is second to none, high-quality design and the fact that the product is developed and built in Europe, relativize the price”

“In everyday life, the drive has proven to be fast, robust and reliable, as well as extremely easy to use.”

“The build quality, as we touched on when unboxing it, is fantastic. The drive has a bit of heft to it, with an all-metal front and back with a tough rubber edging. The keys are lovely and clicky, with their epoxy coating to prevent wear and the built-in USB cable tucks away perfectly and securely. We can’t fault the design at all, it perfectly fits the overall appeal of the device.”

“Moving onto the actual purpose of this drive, the security. While we’re not outfitted, not by a long shot, to thoroughly test the security aspects of this drive, we can fully appreciate the testing procedure that has gone into making sure the data inside is as safe as it can possibly be. While doing research on what the different accreditations actually meant and how they impact things, we’ve truly begun to understand just how important data can be to some people.”

“If you require absolute security in a classy and solid chassis, we can’t see any other sensible option.”

“The datAshur Pro is a nice solution to a growing problem. The ease and speed with which critically important data can be accessed and transferred means that everyone — from major corporations to individual users — must take measures to better protect it. And while software-based encryption is an important part a good data security strategy, there are situations where it may not be the best option.

Instead, using a storage device with hardware-based encryption like the datAshur Pro removes the complexity of encryption for the end user while still offering excellent protection for your data while in transit, in a format that is almost universally compatible with any USB-capable device.”

“Once again iStorage has released a top-notch product in the market that not only features industry leading data security/safety features but it also combines very good performance with a massive storage capacity (for a 2.5″ portable model)… Overall, the diskAshur PRO² 5TB PIN Authenticated Portable HDD has it all, top of the line security/safety features, very good performance and a massive capacity which is why it gets our Golden Award.”

“if you want to keep your photos super secure on the drive, consider getting something with built-in encryption like the diskAshur² from iStorage.”

“Secure storage discs are not a common term but provide an excellent level of protection for your data, it will be impossible for one to access the files on diskAshur² except with your permission, making it an excellent option if you own sensitive files. The diskashur² offers an advanced level of protection, since you will not be able to Access data on the disk except by entering the PIN via the panel on the disk.”

“The diskAshur² is built to withstand whatever is thrown at it, whether accidental or deliberate. Its rubberised coating and a water-resistant epoxy-coated keypad protects it from day-to-day knocks and scrapes while an armoury of self-defence mechanisms defend it from malicious attack, including, intriguingly, by laser (so take note, Bond villains)…Overall the iStorage diskAshur² is very expensive for a hard drive. But while you could buy a regular hard drive for a quarter of the price and use software encryption, it wouldn’t be as secure.”

The diskAshur² 1TB hard drive (seen left) actually blew us away with our testing.
“So, speaking purely from a performance stance, the extra speed of the SSD is undeniable I do love the fact that it is a fully encrypted drive with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption. “

“The datAshur Personal² is a flash drive aimed at consumers who want to make sure their files stay private.

“iStorage is a pretty well-known name in the encrypted storage market – they were the first company on earth to get a portable encrypted storage solution on the market with their DiskAshur Pro series (which has certifications by NATO and other major organizations). The DiskAshur 2 (non-pro) series lacks these certifications but as far as I can tell that’s pretty much all the difference between the Pro and non-Pro variants. In any case, they should be more than enough for the average consumer’s security needs.”

“diskAshur’s products are some of the best secure drives on the market, and the diskAshur Pro² is the company’s best external hard drive yet. The diskAshur Pro also comes with some enviable encryption, sporting XTS-AES 256-bit real-time full disk hardware encryption and EDGE technology to offer even more levels of safety.”

“STORAGE may not be sexy but it’s a necessary ongoing expense for photographers in the digital age, especially with rising pixel counts and the move to 4K video. While cloud and desktop storage have their place, there will always be a need for a reliable portable device for backing up and transporting image files in the field, and there are many reasons why photographers may need it to be password protected. For example, you could be photographing commercially sensitive subjects or, in this post-GDPR world, holding private client data such as contact and payment details. “
