## Overview

The iStorage DiskAshur2 is a 1TB portable external hard drive featuring real-time, hardware-based AES-XTS 256-bit encryption validated by FIPS PUB 197. It offers dual independent PIN authentication, requires no software installation, and is OS-independent. Designed for professionals demanding top-tier security, it includes physical tamper defenses, brute force lockout, self-destruct capabilities, and is IP56 certified for dust and water resistance.

## Description

The diskAshur2 USB 3.1 HDD/SSD is an ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, hardware encrypted portable hard drive. Using the device couldn’t be easier, simply connect the integrated cable to any computer and enter a 7-15-digit PIN. If the correct PIN is entered, all data stored on the drive will be decrypted and accessible. To lock the drive, simply eject it from the host computer and all data stored on the device will be encrypted (full disk encryption) using military grade AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. One of the unique security features of the diskAshur2 is the dedicated on-board secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. The device reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state.

Review: I bought this not minding the negative comments, but Straight out of the box, it keeps giving me an error message. Saying it needs fixing, I try to allow it to fix itself, but nothing happens. I can still use it without scanning, but I did the windows disconnect patch, and it still disconnects me every minute, so when watching a movie, it will disconnect and cut off what you are watching. I transferred all my files on this device, i hope i dont loss them in the future because of this error message and scan requirement
Review: I bought this to backup thousands of hours of vacation videos and photographs. Many of which I want to protect for privacy reasons for family etc. Being in tech for years and having tested various types of software for encryption, this device eliminates the use for software. It’s very simple to set up for a primary password and also for a guest password. Setting up both was simple without issue. I would note that you need to press the lock symbol first, enter your code and press the lock symbol again to unlock in Guest mode. I love that it comes in its own case but wish the attached and tethered USB cable was a little longer. Great device, very impressed and will buy another if needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am the admin & have loaded video files to my new diskashur. when i try to play those files from the disk, i can't read them. how can i fix this?**
A: Before you start working with the disk, you need to format it into the required file system. To do this, we need to understand what operating system you are using and your network environment.
If you cannot read only video files, then the problem is not in the disk, but in the operating system and video players.

**Q: Smb2 supported? macos?**
A: Works with any Operating System, including macOS. Once the drive is authenticated, you can treat it like any standard non-encrypted USB hard drive. When the device is disconnected, all data is encrypted (full disk encryption).

**Q: I cannot get this drive to work with a macbook air. i can use finder to see it, but it will not mount for use. what am i doing wrong?**
A: Hi James,
 
Thank you for your query.
 
Our range of PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted external HDDs/SSDs & flash drives are 100% platform and OS-independent. That means they will work on any OS or USB device.
 
To mount the drive on your MacBook Air, please go to Disk Utility, find your device and click on “Mount”.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated technical support team should you have any questions. We will be happy to assist.

**Q: It says it works for smartphones but doesn’t list iPhone. Does it work for iPhone?**
A: Dear Marcus,
 
Thank you for your question. 
 
Our diskAshur range of drives will not be visible on iPhone as the lightning port does not provide adequate power for the drive to operate. The diskAshur drives work on iPad Pro with a USB C connector. 
 
If you are looking for an encrypted storage device that would work on iPhone, our datAshur range will work on iPhone 8 and above without any issues using a lightning Male to USB Female adapter. That includes datAshur, datAshur Pro, datAshur Pro2, datAshur Personal2 & datAshur BT.
 
If you have any technical questions, please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team at support@istorage-uk.com or via telephone at +44 (0) 20 8991 6260.

Kind Regards,

iStorage Limited
