Secure PIN-authenticated 2TB portable drive

The iStorage diskAshur2 is a 2TB portable hard drive that uses a built-in keypad for 7-15 digit PIN authentication. It employs real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption with a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor and FIPS PUB 197 validated algorithm. No software installation is required, making it immediately usable on any compatible device for protecting sensitive personal or company data.

IP56 rated rugged enclosure

The 2.5 inch form factor measures 0.75 x 4.88 x 3.31 inches and weighs 0.48 lb, featuring an IP56 certified dust and splashproof enclosure for daily transport. It connects via USB 3.1 with backwards compatible USB 3.2 speeds reaching up to 361MB/s read and 358MB/s write. The drive draws power directly from the USB port, so no external adapter is needed for operation across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, thin clients, zero clients, and embedded systems.

Verify USB port availability

Before ordering, confirm your host device provides a standard USB port for both data and power delivery. Ensure your workflow accommodates entering a 7-15 digit PIN on the physical keypad each time the drive is connected. The drive is not suited for environments requiring software-based encryption management, network-attached access, or automated unattended mounting without manual authentication.

Questions about this item

What speeds does the USB 3.1 interface actually deliver on this drive?

The USB 3.1 connection is backwards compatible with USB 3.2 and reaches up to 361MB/s read and 358MB/s write.

Will the 2.5 inch form factor and IP56 rating fit in a standard laptop bag without extra bulk?

At 0.75 by 4.88 by 3.31 inches and 0.48 lb, the blue enclosure is compact and dust and splash resistant for everyday carry.

How do I set up the hardware encryption the first time, and what is the common mistake?

Enter a 7 to 15 digit PIN on the built-in keypad; the drive unlocks instantly with no software, but forgetting the PIN locks the data permanently.
