iStorage diskAshur³ – PIN-protected portable storage

The iStorage diskAshur³ suits people who carry sensitive files between workstations and need access controlled on the drive itself. Its keypad PIN and hardware encryption protect stored data until you unlock it.

The essentials at a glance

Keep access under your control

Enter your configured PIN on the integrated keypad to unlock the drive. The PIN can be 8 to 64 digits, giving you control over access without relying on a separate fingerprint reader.

The drive uses hardware encryption with 256-bit AES-XTS, AES-ECB and AES-CBC algorithms. When you eject it, the drive locks and encrypts its data again.

Security built into the connection

The firmware complies with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards. A secure microprocessor certified to Common Criteria EAL5+ adds another layer of protection.

The secure USB controller checks its firmware before an unlock attempt. This helps defend against BadUSB attacks, where a compromised USB device could pose a risk.

Connect across supported systems

The USB Type-C connection and plug-and-play operation make setup straightforward. The drive supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and server operating systems.

A 500 GB capacity provides space for work files, backups and other important data. Read speeds reach 171 MB/s, while write speeds reach 148 MB/s.
