An easy to use ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, hardware encrypted, portable USB 3.2 hard drive with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, software free design and super-fast data transfer speeds.
The diskAshur² has an easy-to-use keypad design enabling you to securely access the drive with your own unique 7-15-digit PIN and with software free setup and operation, the diskAshur² is platform/device independent and works across all operating systems including all versions of MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and embedded systems. In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port!
One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur² is the dedicated hardware based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur² reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless.
In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!
