datAshur PRO2 reviews

Jun 2023 | The Review Smith's

“If you run a business that deals with sensitive information or want to keep your personal data safe, an external hard drive is probably the best way to go. Connect it up to whatever holds the information, download, disconnect and it’s safe, instantly separated from any shared drives or internet connection. But all you’re doing really is moving it from one place to another and if anyone connects that device up again, what’s to stop them just accessing that information? That’s where this tough little beauty comes in.”

“The DiskAshur Pro2 SSD is an external portable hard drive designed to provide the highest level of security for your sensitive data, and it is designed with advanced encryption technology that keeps your files safe from unauthorized access, in addition to other security features, and the DiskAshur Pro2 SSD also features amazing speed and durability.”

“If data is worth saving to an external drive, shouldn’t it also be important enough to protect?”

“iStorage products make steel-trap protection a standard feature in all of their flash drives, hard drives and even cloud services options.”

“With the datAshur PRO and PRO², you get an assortment of protection measures to make sure no one compromises or steals your data ever.”

“The key stays with you, making it virtually impossible for crooks to steal your data, even if they could access your cloud storage provider.”

“The datAshur PRO2 is the most secure flash drive in the world. It is something that I thought wouldn’t really be possible in such a small form factor, and the fact that you’ve got relatively decent speeds given its size and class, with the fact that you’ve got all the certifications and a fully encrypted device means that you have ultimately the most secure flash drive in the world at the palm of your hand”

“If you want a secure flash drive and you want one of the best, if not the best in the world, then you should consider the iStorage datAshur PRO2”

“This little USB storage key from iStorage packs a whopping 128GB punch, but that’s not the major selling point here. iStorage’s mission is primarily one of security and safe data transfer, and naturally, the Datashur Pro 2 is no exception. Like many of this auspicious company’s products, the Datashur Pro 2 places a massive emphasis on keeping your sensitive data safe and away from prying eyes…”

“This is a seriously hard-wearing USB drive. During our tests, we tried to physically damage or tamper with it as much as possible to prove the anti-tampering measures work, and we were very pleasantly surprised. The epoxy resin this drive is coated with makes it virtually impossible to damage; despite several rigorous tests, we never managed to break into it. Signs of tampering are also very clear on the surface, so if someone’s damaged your drive, you’ll know it.”

“Make no mistake: this is a heavy-duty product intended for those who are serious about their security”.

“The iStorage datAshur Pro2 128GB model has a recommended retail price of £169, with the drive currently available on Amazon for £176.49. That’s not too bad all things considered, and those looking to protect vital data will appreciate this. The weigh up in price, performance and the actual need for this type of product are hard to balance, but critical data falling into the wrong hands could be very costly indeed, and for us, that’s not a risk worth taking!”

“Compared with external SSDs, the performance of the datAshur Pro² is modest. In our testing, it reliably achieved around 130MB/s read speed and 115MB/s write on a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. If you only have USB 2.0 handy, you should expect speeds between 35MB/s and 40MB/s.”

“iStorage offers a solid solution, both in terms of software protection and physical protection, the iStorage datAshur PRO 2 being a really durable USB stick. The ability to set up separate administrator and user accounts, as well as the ability to set a self-destruct PIN, make iStorage datAshur PRO 2 a very powerful tool for those who work with sensitive data daily.
iStorage datAshur PRO 2 is a good option for those working with sensitive data, which requires a very high level of security. Basically, with such a unit, controlled access to information is guaranteed, given datAshur PRO 2 being a gadget worthy of James Bond’s arsenal.”

“iStorage does it again! Just like their DiskAshur products the DatAshur PRO2 helps keep your data secure and tamper-proof. While many people might not need this type of security and protection there are definitely enough use-cases out there where a drive like this would be needed, especially when it comes to large organizations and governments. Even if that is not the case it is great to have the type of security that the DatAshur PRO2 offers”

“The small form factor of the drive is what makes it so great.”

“What is it? This is a flash drive, but even from the looks of it, you can tell it’s no ordinary flash drive. The Datashur Pro2 has some very serious encryption going on to keep your data safe from everyone else. If you lose it or it gets stolen, the drive is protected with AES-XTS 256-bit full disk encryption. This is certified for storing HIPAA data (patient medical records). Who is it for? Anyone who is worried about their data falling into the wrong hands. How much does it cost? Prices start at $64 for 4 GB. A 128 GB drive costs $218.”

“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.”

“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.

“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!

“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.”

“Although there are a few features that I do not need for my workflow, I know that they would be of great use to larger organizations with more critical security needs. I really like the build quality, and the read and write speeds are more than acceptable. I give this device a well done and two thumbs up!!”

“If you want maximum security and something more portable then the datAshur Pro2 flash drive will be a more suitable option”
“This is where products like the iStorage datAshur Pro2 come into play. This hardware-encrypted flash drive is the top of the range option from iStorage and has some of the highest encryption standards possible
“If you are ever in the situation of transporting important information this is an investment worth making. Any form of customer or client information needs to comply with GDPR, and the fines for breaches can be extensive. Similarly, if company secrets got out early, such as product designs, specifications and other data this could be disastrous for any company. So the relative cost of this compared to losing data is negligible.”
“anyone dealing with any highly sensitive data would be wise to invest in an encrypted device such as this.”

“The brand new datAshur PRO² may not be as “compact” as its predecessor the award winning datAshur PRO (the zinc alloy lanyard is a bit over the top) but not only does it feature a higher-quality enclosure (also more durable) which at least in our opinion looks better but it also packs several features aimed at making it even more secure (something we didn’t think possible). We actually did use some hacking software tools as we always do with secure drives (we’re no hackers however) and most of them wouldn’t even recognize the drive when plugged into our systems (just like our hardware information tools).

“The security features are impressive, and really go above and beyond. You may be thinking to yourself, “I don’t need that much security”. But the sad fact is that in today’s world, you have to really guard your data. Everything we do is digitized now, from tax returns to bank account data, and hackers can and do compromise sensitive data all the time. I’ve become a big fan of iStorageand I’m really impressed with the company and the quality of their products. So if you’re looking for an awesome gift for Dad this Father’s Day, I highly recommend the diskAshur2!”
