iStorage diskAshur2 HDD 1TB Black - Password Protected Portable Hard Drive - Secure, Dust and Water Resistant, Military Grade Hardware Encryption - USB 3.1 IS-DA2-256-1000-B Review

I bought the iStorage diskAshur2 and it was good value for money. Unlike flash drives, most portable hard drives do not have this protection. For starters, it's hardware encrypted with FIPS PUB 197 validated military grade 256-bit real-time XTS full-disk hardware encryption, so you don't have to worry about software or drivers. This also means that diskAshur2 is platform and device independent, meaning it will work on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome or Android. diskAshur2 also includes thin…

I didn't like that the hard drive doesn't show the PIN code or password change on the computer if it is successful. It doesn't show what stage you're in, and all you have is a guide that shows different combinations of color codes that often don't respond to button presses, even after you've followed the instructions. A device with strong encryption should show what changes are taking place on the computer screen. it actually looks more like an analog device. I can't even use it right now. I…

You need to install a fix for your system to keep this article connected. The patch is needed to keep the drive connected because without the patch the drive will disconnect after about a minute. You must re-enter the decryption PIN to reconnect. Every minute of disconnection is unacceptable. The patch completely wrecked my system which was 7 years old and fully updated with MS patches. Since I already ordered a replacement PC, I installed the patch on a NEW PC. There are always BLUE SCREENS on

Purchased to save thousands of hours of videos and photos from vacation. Many of them I want to protect for family privacy etc. Having been involved with technology for many years and testing different types of encryption software, this device eliminates the use of software. Both the master password and the guest password are very easy to set up. Set up was easy on both with no issues. I would like to inform you that to unlock in guest mode you must first press the lock icon, enter your code…

This is a great solution when you need highly secure storage that can be moved between different device types. Other SSDs require an unlock program to run on the device. This causes problems when switching between computers or a mobile device. There are no such problems with this product. It is completely standalone and works with everything. Keep in mind that the keyboard and very solid body make it bulkier than average, but it's still very portable.

1. Connect the diskAshur storage to the USB port;2. Wait for the light dance to end until the red light on the storage device turns on (after the device has performed a brief automatic self-diagnosis); 3. On the memory keyboard, press the factory administrator PIN 11 22 33 444. Press the unlock button,5. The green unlock light is on all the time, you can now use the drive like any standard flash drive BUT when nothing shows up on your computer desktop. The memory indicator must ALWAYS be green…

This is exactly what we needed - a secure way to store our customers' data in transit that didn't require any special software or training once set up requires. The setup instructions could have been a bit simpler (more step-by-step pictures, more explanations of each step, and less information in the tables) since many admins who need to manage admin and user passwords are not technical people. savvy, but that's really the only major complaint I have. The device has both an admin PIN and a…

Good price, and lo and behold! It doesn't really turn itself off after a short while. (I'm looking at you, Netac.) The fact that it stays connected means my backups are really working. Hooray. Also colors! I wouldn't normally leave a review after such a short time, but if I can save someone who bought a Netac or Apricorn hard drive I'll be happy. I'll report back later if there are problems.

The case is quite big for a 2.5 inch drive but the buttons are big and easy to program. I was using secure USB sticks and needed something over 64GB. I tried another brand that offered a 128GB flash drive and while it had a very nice case it was impossible to program let alone unlock with the standard code. This device works like a charm. I would like to buy it again.
