iStorage diskAshur Pro2 256-bit 500GB - Classified - Graphite

Minimise the risk of data hacking with the new-age portable hard disk drive. The iStorage diskAshur Pro2 256-bit comes with built-in AES-XTS 256-bit full disk hardware encryption engine and PIN authentication, which offer you fool-proof data security. The hard disk drive has a dedicated hardware-based secure microprocessor that comes with a built-in safety mechanism to protect it against bypass attacks, external tamper and more. You just need to enter your 7-15 digit PIN to access your data securely that remains in the encrypted form in the drive. Powered with a superfast USB 3.1, it gives you 148 MB/s (read) and 140 MB/s (write) transfer speed, allowing quick access to your files. Suitable for storage and protection of your personal, government or corporate data, it complies with stringent GDPR regulations. It is platform/device independent and works on all operating systems, and it features a super tough, tamper-proof exterior made of epoxy resins.

EDGE (Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption) Technology

The diskAshur PRO2 HDD is equipped with a built-in AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption engine for advanced data security. It generates data encryption keys randomly by a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready random number generator that is protected by FIPS validated wrapping algorithms. Besides, the microprocessor enters the deadlock frozen state that prevents any hacking attempt from succeeding. The security lock feature safeguards the device against any unauthorised firmware modifications from the host side. You can stay assured of data security and get peace of mind.

Fool-proof Protection against Brute Force Hacking

The diskAshur PRO2 HDD safeguards your data against all forms of hacking attacks. When a hacker enters the wrong PIN five times, consecutively, the drive freezes. Then you need to disconnect the drive and reconnect it to the USB port to get five more chances for entering the correct PIN. Wrong entries of PIN for five times more makes the diskAshur PRO2 HDD freeze again. You get five final PIN attempts, completing a total of 15, for which you need to keep on the "shift" button pressed while inserting the USB cable into the USB port and enter a preset PIN. When you or any hacker enters a PIN incorrectly for the 15th time, the diskAshur PRO2 HDD deletes the encryption key and locks itself, causing all data stored on it to be lost forever. In such a scenario, the only way is to reset the HDD to factory default settings and re-deploy.

Robust and Tamper-Proof Design

Besides having a secure microprocessor and advanced data encryption technology, the diskAshur PRO2 HDD comes with another level of barrier to prevent any attempt of data hacking. All its components are made of a super-tough epoxy resin layer that is nearly impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. This acts as a tough barrier that prevents potential hackers from accessing vital personal or corporate data. Moreover, the diskAshur PRO2 HDD offers visible evidence in case it has been tampered.

FAQs:

Do you require Admin rights for this portable hard drive to work?

As the iStorage diskAshur Pro2 256-bit doesn’t require any user to install software and all the encryptions or decryptions are performed within the hardware on the drive itself, you don’t require admin rights for its operation.

Do you require to re-enter the code after some time of inactivity or only after disconnecting it from the USB port?

When your computer sleeps, the iStorage diskAshur Pro2 256-bit locks. You can easily prevent this by changing the power settings of the computer such that even when it sleeps, it keeps the power to hard drives and USB devices on and only lets the monitor hibernate. For Apple computers, users need to go to the power setting in 'System Preferences' and click the 'do not suspend USB' option. It will keep the hard drive active, even if the Mac goes into hibernation.

Can I connect this storage device with a smart TV through a USB Port?

The iStorage diskAshur 256-bit Desktop hard drive can easily be connected with a desktop, laptop and even with a smart TV. Hence, there would be no compatibility issue.
