iStorage diskAshur DT² – PIN-controlled encrypted storage

The iStorage diskAshur DT² suits anyone who needs to keep large files protected on a desktop drive. Its keypad-controlled access and hardware encryption protect stored data without relying on software.

Essential specifications

PIN access keeps control in your hands

Set a unique 7–15 digit PIN on the integrated keypad. The drive requires that PIN for access, so your files remain protected if it is separated from your computer.

Encryption runs in the drive’s hardware, with no software installation needed. This makes setup straightforward across supported systems and devices with a USB connection.

Built for sensitive desktop storage

A dedicated secure microprocessor uses physical protection mechanisms to resist tampering and bypass attempts. If it detects an automated attack, the drive enters a frozen state.

The aluminium housing is dust, tamper and wear resistant. You also get a Kensington cable lock slot, LED indicators and an on/off switch.

Capacity and speed for regular file access

With 8TB of storage, this HDD can hold extensive work files, archives and backups. Its USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection supports transfer rates up to 5,000 Mbit/s.

The drive reaches read speeds of 286 MB/s and write speeds of 278 MB/s. It is not bus powered, so plan for access to external power.
