iStorage diskAshur PRO² – PIN-secured portable storage

The iStorage diskAshur PRO² suits professionals and organisations carrying sensitive files between compatible devices. Its key benefit is hardware encryption with PIN-secured access, so your data stays protected without installing security software.

Essential specifications

PIN access without software

Enter your own 7–15-digit PIN on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. Because setup and operation are software-free, you can access files without installing a separate security application.

The drive uses a dedicated secure microprocessor with physical protection mechanisms. It can enter a locked, frozen state during an automated attack, helping defend against tampering and bypass attempts.

High capacity for working files

With 8 TB of storage, the diskAshur PRO² can hold extensive work files, archives and other data on one portable drive. Read speeds reach 361 MB/s, while write speeds reach 358 MB/s.

It supports S.M.A.R.T. and TRIM, and its 2.5-inch form factor makes its physical size clear when planning a portable setup.

Use across supported systems

The drive supports Windows, macOS and Linux, as well as Android mobile devices. Its USB Type-A connection uses USB 3.2 Gen 1, making it suitable for compatible devices with a matching port.

It is also dust resistant and water resistant. These features add practical protection when carrying the drive between work locations.
