Win8/Win10 users will have to patch the USB suspend issue manually until Microsoft makes a permanent fix
“iStorage packs just about every security feature and function available into a single drive and they call it the diskAshur2. It doesn’t get much bet
Way too expensive for users looking for a 'basic' portable hard drive
AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, FIPS PUB 197 validated, IP56 dust and water resistant, Many additional security features built in, Available in many different colors and capacities
Faster drives available at the same price
If you care about your data and need to carry sensitive documents with you the diskAshur2 from iStorage is the perfect device for you. There are not many devices out there that give you full hardware-based encryption like this drive does. As a recap this...
Abstract: Do you have data that really should be kept secure but isn't? Work-related or personal information is tough to keep safe once it goes digital I always start by storing it locally instead of in the cloud However, just because the data is on a hard drive or...
Excellent Build Quality (Aluminum Enclosure), PIN Authenticated Drive, Security Measures (AES-XTS 256-bit Hardware Encryption/EDGE Chip/Interior Epoxh Layer), Epoxy Coated Keypad (Wear Resistant), Top Of The Line Performance, Available In 1/2/3/4/5/6/8
Price (For Some),
Both the diskAshur2 and the datAshur PRO drives by iStorage may offer the same exact level/degree of ultra-high security for your sensitive data but they both lack one thing, very high capacity models. This of course is not a problem with the...
Build Quality (IP56 Certified Enclosure), PIN Authenticated, Security Measures (AES-XTS 256-bit Hardware Encryption/EDGE Chip/Interior Epoxy Layer), Very Good Performance, Hardwired USB Cable, Available In 500GB/1TB/2TB/3TB/4TB/5TB, HDD & SSD Models,
Price (For Some), USB Cable Length,
Hardware encrypted drives is something we see quite a lot mainly because most SSDs currently in the market (if not all) feature AES 256bit hardware encryption. Still although this is the case with SSDs the same doesn't apply to HDDs (especia...
Both these drives offer excellent security, albeit with a rather complex interface for getting at the advanced features. The other drawback is the price, which is a definite premium over a standard hard drive or USB stick. But if you need the security of...

Pricing ranges from $174 for the 128GB model to $2374 for the 4TB one. The 2TB drive I tested is $1249. That's obviously not cheap, but not crazily out of line with other external SSD drives, especially once you get into the higher-capacity ranges.The rea...
Hardware passcode protected to provide the best defense for your data, Easy to set your passcodes and lock timer, Built in USB that stows away on the side of the device when not in use, Compact design, Protective carrying case, Various storage capacities
The $/GB for the SSD is quite a bit more expensive than the HDD given the difference in technology so if data recall speed isn't your top priority the HDD option will give you a better bang for the buck
The bottom line is the iStorage diskAshur is an extremely high quality product that offers maximum security for your data. If you decide to purchase one of these products I know that you will be impressed.Now through the end of 2017, iStorage is providing...
Old-school physical security features, Passive or active self-destruct feature, Includes a decent protective zip-case
Expensive on a cost-per-gigabyte basis, Short, tethered cable, A small screen/readout would be helpful
Financial pros, law-enforcement folks, diplomats, and spies will appreciate the hardware security (and self-destruct feature!) of this external hard drive. Everyone else will like the idea, but cringe at the price...

Compact size, Serious security, Sturdy rubberized dust- and water-resistant body, Carrying case
Short USB cable, A bit pricey, Fast for an HDD, but certainly not as fast as an SSD
If your main concern is data security and durability, this is a drive well worth considering. It meets a number of important needs: security, portability, performance, ruggedness. About the only thing we didn't care for is the very short USB cable, but th...

Abstract: While there are lots of programs offering bulletproof encryption, it's rare that we've seen hardware locked down as well as the iStorage diskashur2. This portable drive offers up to 2 TB of AES 256-bit XTS hardware encrypted storage. What's more, there's...
