iStorage diskAshur PRO2 techbuzzireland

The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 is a PIN-authenticated, encrypted portable drive that offers secure storage and protection of data to military standards. This USB 3.2 Gen 1 HDD/SSD device is designed for use with various operating systems and devices, including laptops, PCs, and smartphones. Its compact design, built-in USB cable, and tamper-proof features make it a reliable choice for users requiring high-level data security. The diskAshur PRO2 is tamper-proof and will reset itself after a certain number of tries if someone tries guessing the PIN, which erases all the data.

 Setup and use:

The diskAshur PRO2 is plug-and-play, requiring no additional software. Users simply need to connect the USB cable to their device, enter the 7-15 digit PIN code, and start using the storage space. The full user manual is stored on the SSD drive, and no additional cables are required, as the drive comes with the USB cable attached to the unit. It is recommended to change the PIN code as soon as possible after initial setup, as outlined in the instructional manual.

Warranty: a commendable quality approach in a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty (HDD & SSD)

 

Conclusion:

Techbuzz did a review on this model type diskAshur2  in 2017 in which it was found at the time we noted the feature of a “ Wear Resistant Epoxy Coated Keypad”  which we can say is still coated,  this implies the quality and build of the current diskAshur PRO2 would be similar with its layer of polymer coating that protects the keys and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys. The speed from the older model has increased from its  diskAshur2  in 2017  3.1 10Gb/s,  to the USB 3.2 with the diskAshur PRO2  20Gb/s transfer speeds. The disc came with the same strong protective carry case with the cable built into the drive. These have worked flawlessly for their previous product with the design of the diskAshur PRO2 very similar indicating the same quality as before.

The question then becomes not whether to get an external hard disc backup when removing data off-site. it becomes a choice of what type and size,

The diskAshur range in the SSD from 128 GB to 16 TB, the SSD under review was the 1TB model.  The manufacturer quotes “ The diskAshur PRO² has been certified to the highest government accreditations (FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NCSC CPA, NLNCSA BSPA & NATO Restricted), helping you safeguard valuable and sensitive data to ensure compliance with stringent data protection and confidentiality regulations and directives, such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA and more.”

Overall the 3-year warranty, the speed via the USB 3.2 and the quality combined with the numerous accreditations certifications and compliance with stringent data protection ensure as stated back in 2017 the same applies. This may be like the phrase & quote from 2017; “Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM &  to the diskAshur PRO2 “  The iStorage diskAshur PRO2 is a premium product with rock-solid build quality and advanced encryption technology that keeps your files safe from unauthorized access.
