Secure PIN-authenticated storage
The iStorage diskAshur2 is a 500GB portable hard drive that requires a 7-15 digit PIN before data becomes accessible. It targets professionals and organisations that must protect sensitive files on the move without installing or managing encryption software. The drive works with any device offering a USB port, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, thin clients and embedded systems.
500GB capacity with real-time encryption
The drive provides 500GB of space for documents, backups and media while encrypting every write in real time using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. Sequential reads reach 160MB/s and writes 143MB/s over the USB 3.2 interface, so large transfers finish quickly. Performance scales down on older USB ports, and the single-drive design means capacity cannot be expanded without adding another unit.
IP56 ruggedness and keypad control
A zinc alloy enclosure rated IP56 resists dust and water jets, and the integrated keypad lets you unlock the drive before plugging it in. The 2.5-inch form factor measures 0.75 by 4.88 by 3.31 inches and weighs 0.48 lb, fitting easily in the supplied protective carry case. Because authentication is hardware-based, there is no software footprint on the host and no driver dependency across supported platforms.
