iStoragediskAshur2 HDD 2TB Black | Secure portable hard drive | Password protected | Dust & water resistant | Hardware Encryption

I bought this hard drive it was so much complicated to follow instruction and specially if you are a new user I have to contact helpdesk. Helpdesk are very good and helped how to setup my password and now it’s very easy to use it turns off automatically one you leave the device very secure and works with Mac and windows too. I like the idea entering the password in physical button it means strong security to this device wow I love this kind of technology.

The Product is superb; beautifully engineered, provided with an elegant case, strongly built and easy to get started. I have done the initial password setting steps quickly following the instructions and the product was ready to use. It is very user friendly. Enter your 7 to15 digits numerical password and press the unlock button the DiscaShure gets ready to use in a few seconds. When you are finished and you want to sign out, simply press the lock button. Nothing could be easier than this. I am very happy and I am planning to a second one soon.

I bought the iStorage diskAshur2 and it was well worth my money. Most portable hard drives, as opposed to flash drives, do not come with the same kind of protection. To begin with, it is hardware encrypted, using real-time military grade AES 256-bit XTS full-disk hardware encryption validated to FIPS PUB 197, so there is no software to worry about or drivers to set up. This also means that the diskAshur2 is platform and device agnostic, so it works as well in Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome or Android.diskashur2 also includes thin clients, zero clients, and any clients that have a USB port.This drive also has a Common Criteria EAL4, and a ready on-board secure microprocessor; FIPS 140-2 Level 3, foundation level NCSC CPA, and NLNCSA certifications are all pending. Of course, it is also fully IP 56 certified for water and dust protection. Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption (EDGE) technology kicks in with a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor.The microprocessor also comes with built-in physical protection mechanisms to defend against external tampering, can withstand ‘laser attacks’, and fault injection methods. External attacks are completely useless; the internal components are encased in a layer of epoxy resin so tough that breaking the hard drive is impossible without breaking the internal components. Any attempt to break into the device kicks off the deadlock frozen state. All the authentication parameters are encrypted and physically protected by the microprocessors’ memory encryption (scrambler) and access control schemes.Another great bonus was the two product gifts: A Nero BackItUP, and ESET Drive Security.I am overall, very satisfied with this hard drive, and I would not hesitate to purchase any other product from this seller.

Rare 5 Star Review!! My review is delayed but I finally opened it and put it to use! Other reviews made me wary that the setup would be difficult but I read through the instructions once over and paid attention to the side notes w/ pics lol before attempting- everything was easy for me. I did a test file before setting my password and again everything was perfect! I copied all files from my computer and it all happened relatively quickly to my surprise! Now I got to work on the phone. I have a feeling I'll have this item with me for a long time and I'm very happy I did my research before purchasing one of these!

Good drive but have to run a patch for it to work. Fix your product first before distributing fellas.😀

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.

In order for this item to stay connected, you must install a patch to your system. The patch is required to enable the disk to remain connected as without the patch the drive disconnects in about a minute... requiring you to re-enter the decryption PIN to reconnect. Every minute disconnect is not acceptable.The patch fully killed my system which was 7 years old and fully up-to-date with MS patches. Since I had already order a replacement PC, I installed the patch to the NEW PC. It continually BLUE SCREENs my system.Since I have broken the seal and have personal data on the drive, I cannot trust to return it... even though I have until 7/24/2021 to return. DO NOT BUY if you are running Windows 10.

This is a very dependable data storage device. I’m using it on an older Mac book Air. Still pretty fast access even nearly full now with raw video data.

These are sturdy drives, with a high quality feel. Setup takes some practice, because you have to type in several key sequences in a limited amount of time, but once you get the hang of it they work very well. I use them to back up my law practice data. From what I can tell, the data is very secure. When the drive has been unlocked and is in use it works like any other fast drive - documents, sound recordings and even video files can be opened easily, and the audio/video files play smoothly right from the drive. An excellent product.

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO

Sehr gutes Gerät, solide Tasten mit Farben für Grün. Wenn der Code angenommen wird rot. Wenn es nicht funktioniert oder die Festplatte gesperrt ist, kann man nur weiter empfehlen würde ich ein zweites Mal kaufen

This is cool storage device. Not too complicated in operating. Comes with complete set manuals both inside the box and pre programmed as file inside the storage within the hard drive. Didn’t encounter concerns in creating the pin and it doesn’t lock itself when plugged in instantly after Let’s say 2 minutes. Takes good 10 or 15 minutes before goes dormant and even then is only inputting the code that puts it in functionable mode right back again.

The media could not be loaded. I bought my first one in 2021. After 3 years with no problems and finding it very easy to use, I just bought another. As back up. I'm busy copying data over to it now (see pic).I haven't got the technical expertise to comment on how secure it is and whether its encryption is all it claims to be. I can only go on what I'm reading from the blurb on Amazon. On the other hand, since it needs a password to get into it, it's better than a drive that doesn't require one. And all my data seems to be intact to date.
