PIN-authenticated 2 TB portable drive

The iStorage diskAshur2 IS-DA2-256-2000-B is a 2 TB portable hard drive that unlocks only after a 7-15 digit PIN is entered on its built-in keypad. It uses real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption with a FIPS PUB 197 validated algorithm and a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor. No software installation is required, so the drive works on any device with a USB port across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, thin clients, zero clients and embedded systems.

2 TB encrypted capacity with IP56 ruggedness

The drive provides 2 TB of encrypted storage and delivers up to 160 MB/s read and 143 MB/s write speeds over USB 3.2. Its IP56 certified enclosure resists dust and water splashes, and the hardware encryption engine secures every file the moment the drive is disconnected. Automated attack attempts trigger a deadlock frozen state that blocks further access. The 2.5 inch form factor measures .75 x 4.88 x 3.31 inches and weighs .48 lb.

USB 3.1 connectivity for software-free deployment

A USB 3.1 interface supplies both power and data, eliminating the need for an external adapter or driver installation. The keypad authentication travels with the drive, freeing the host system from encryption software overhead and licensing. Compatibility spans standard PCs, mobile devices, thin clients, zero clients and embedded platforms. Buyers who need hardware encryption without a keypad or who require capacities beyond 2 TB should consider alternative solutions.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.1 drive work at full speed on my older laptop that only has USB 3.0 ports?

Yes, the USB 3.1 interface is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, so it will function normally on older hardware, though transfer rates will be limited by the slower port.

How do I confirm the AES 256-bit hardware encryption is active once I set my PIN?

After entering your 7-15 digit PIN on the built-in keypad, the drive unlocks and appears as a standard volume; all data written to it is automatically encrypted in real time with no software indicator required.

Does the IP56-rated enclosure come with a USB cable, or do I need to buy one separately?

A USB 3.1 cable is included in the box for immediate connection; no additional accessories are required to operate the drive.
