iStorage datAshur BT 128 GB — Encrypted Secure USB Drive with Bluetooth Smartphone Unlock

The iStorage datAshur BT 128 GB is a military-grade, hardware-encrypted USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive designed for today’s security-minded professionals. It protects your data at rest with robust AES-256 XTS encryption and pairs with your Android or iOS smartphone to unlock securely over an encrypted Bluetooth channel. This combination of hardware-grade protection and seamless mobile authentication makes it ideal for individuals and teams who require portable storage without compromising compliance, privacy, or productivity. With a capacity of 128 GB in this variant, you get ample space for sensitive documents, financial data, contracts, media, and backups while retaining enterprise-grade security features that scale with your needs. The datAshur BT is explicitly built to support remote management, making it a practical choice for businesses that demand centralized control, policy enforcement, and auditability across distributed devices.

• Hardware-encrypted security: Data at rest is protected by on-device AES-256-XTS encryption with unique per-drive keys. This means your files remain unreadable without proper authentication, even if the drive is lost, stolen, or misplaced. The encryption is embedded in the hardware, so there’s no dependence on software keys stored on a computer, reducing the risk of key exposure during transfer or on shared workstations.
• Bluetooth smartphone unlock: Access is granted through a secure Bluetooth handshake with a paired Android or iOS device via the official iStorage datAshur BT app. This multi-factor approach leverages something you own (the drive) and something you have (the smartphone) to provide strong, convenient authentication without exposing PINs on the USB device itself.
• Remote Management Ready: Engineered for business deployments, datAshur BT supports remote management capabilities that enable IT administrators to implement security policies, monitor activity, and scale deployments across many users and devices. This makes it easier to enforce encryption, control access, and demonstrate compliance in regulated environments.
• Fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance: The drive uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) to deliver high-speed data transfers while maintaining the integrity of encrypted data. You can perform large file transfers, backups, and secure sharing with minimal delay, making it practical for everyday use, media workflows, and time-sensitive projects without sacrificing security.
• Durable and tamper-evident hardware: Built with a rugged, metal enclosure designed to endure daily handling and travel. Tamper-evident features and solid construction help deter tampering and provide added assurance that the device remains secure during transit and in busy work environments.
