iStorage diskAshur³ 1 TB 2.5″ Portable Hard Drive, USB-C, PIN-Protected, FIPS 140-3 Level 3, Black

iStorage diskAshur³ – PIN-protected portable storage

We recommend the iStorage diskAshur³ to professionals and organisations who need to carry sensitive files securely. Its key benefit is hardware encryption, with access controlled by a PIN entered on the drive’s keypad.

The essentials at a glance

Control access with a PIN

Set an 8- to 64-digit PIN, then connect the drive and enter it on the keypad. Once unlocked, your files are accessible. Eject the drive to lock it and encrypt the stored data again.

The firmware complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards. A secure microprocessor certified to Common Criteria EAL5+ adds another layer of protection. The drive also checks its USB controller firmware before an unlock attempt.

Ready for a range of systems

The drive supports Windows, macOS, Linux, server operating systems and Android. It is plug and play, so you can connect it to a compatible USB host without installing drive software.

USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables are included. This helps you connect to systems with either type of USB port. The drive is bus-powered, so it draws power over USB.

Built for work on the move

At 254 g, the diskAshur³ is practical to carry between work locations. Its casing is dust resistant, tamper resistant and water repellent. A Kensington cable lock slot can help secure it in a suitable workspace.

Read speeds reach 171 MB/s, while write speeds reach 148 MB/s. These figures make it suitable for moving and accessing everyday work files. Actual performance can depend on the host system and files being transferred.
