Outstanding product!

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 clients, zero clients and any client with a USB port. Common Criteria EAL4 and built-in safety microprocessor as standard; Pending certifications for FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NCSC CPA Basic Level and NLNCSA. Of course, it's also fully IP 56 certified for water and dust resistance. Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption (EDGE) technology is introduced with a secure, ready-to-use Common Criteria EAL4+ microprocessor. The microprocessor is also equipped with built-in physical protection mechanisms to protect against external interference, can resist "laser attacks" and error injection methods. External attacks are completely useless; The internal components are covered with a layer of epoxy so strong that a hard drive failure is impossible without destroying the internal components. Any attempt to break into the device will trigger a frozen deadlock state. All authentication parameters are encrypted and physically protected by microprocessor-based memory encryption (scrambler) and access control schemes. Another nice bonus were two freebies: Nero BackItUP and ESET Drive Security. Disc and I would not hesitate to buy another product from this seller.
