iStorage diskAshur DT² 20TB – PIN-protected storage for large files

The iStorage diskAshur DT² 20TB suits professionals and organisations storing sensitive files or large data collections. Its strongest benefit is hardware encryption with PIN-secured access, keeping stored data protected when the drive is disconnected.

Essential specifications

PIN access keeps encryption on the drive

Enter your PIN on the integrated keypad to access the drive. The 7–15 digit PIN helps keep access control separate from your computer, while hardware-based AES-XTS 256-bit encryption protects stored data.

The drive also has a lock-out function and a tamper-resistant design. Its certifications include NCSC CPA, NLNCSA BSPA and NATO Restricted level. It also carries FIPS 140-2 Level 2/3 certification.

20TB capacity for substantial workloads

With 20TB of HDD storage, the diskAshur DT² can hold extensive work archives, backups and media collections. Its stated read and write speeds are up to 225 MB/s and 223 MB/s, respectively.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 provides a maximum transfer rate of 5,000 Mbit/s. Actual transfer speeds can depend on the connected device and files being moved.

Broad system support, without software setup

The drive supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and server operating systems. Its plug-and-play design does not require software installation, making it practical across supported systems with a USB port.

This is a desktop drive, not a bus-powered portable drive. It uses an external power adapter and has an on/off switch. The aluminium housing includes a Kensington cable lock slot, plus dust-, water- and tamper-resistant protection.

• Confirm your computer or device runs a supported operating system.
• Check that your setup has a compatible USB connection for the USB Type-B drive.
• Confirm you have access to a power socket for the external adapter.
