iStorage datAshur PRO 32 GB: Secure USB 3.0 Flash Drive — FIPS 140-2 Level 3, Password Protected, Dust & Water Resistant

The iStorage datAshur PRO 32 GB is engineered for people who demand uncompromising data security without sacrificing speed, convenience, or portability. This USB 3.0 flash drive blends rugged, precision-built engineering with the latest hardware-based encryption to deliver a secure data storage solution suitable for professionals, governments, healthcare providers, legal firms, and enterprises that handle sensitive information every day. With its FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification, on-device PIN authentication, and a tough aluminum sleeve designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, the datAshur PRO protects your most valuable data from unauthorized access—whether you’re traveling, commuting, or working remotely. Its compact footprint makes it easy to carry in a pocket, bag, or briefcase, while its durable construction ensures it remains resilient in challenging environments. The drive’s security model is purpose-built to prevent data breaches, even if the device is lost or stolen, giving you the confidence to move data with ease and peace of mind.

• The datAshur PRO 32 GB is built around hardware-based AES-256 XTS encryption and a fully integrated PIN-authentication keypad. This means every byte of data stored on the drive is encrypted at rest and can only be decrypted by entering the correct PIN directly on the device—eliminating the need for software drivers or passwords on your computer. This hardware isolation prevents key exposure through host malware or operating system vulnerabilities, and it works independently of the host machine’s security posture. The result is a robust, tamper-resistant solution that meets stringent regulatory requirements while delivering fast, real-world performance for everyday file transfers, backups, and secure sharing.
• Durability and protection are core to datAshur PRO’s design. The drive features a rugged extruded aluminum sleeve that shields the sensitive internals from dust, moisture, and everyday bumps and drops. The rugged housing, combined with a compact, pocket-friendly form factor, enables secure transport in demanding environments—on construction sites, in fieldwork, or during flights and commutes. The dust- and water-resistant construction ensures the device maintains performance under challenging conditions, reducing the risk of damage due to environmental exposure. This level of physical security complements the on-device encryption, providing a comprehensive protection layer for sensitive data.
• Security meets convenience with a plug-and-play experience that doesn’t require software installation or ongoing connectivity to a host computer. Simply connect the datAshur PRO to a USB port, enter your PIN on the built-in keypad, and the drive unlocks to reveal your files as a standard USB mass storage device. You can drag-and-drop, copy, or move files with familiar operating-system file management tools. When you’re done, eject the drive safely to ensure data integrity. The combination of hardware-backed encryption and independent PIN authentication protects data across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, making the datAshur PRO a versatile choice for mixed-OS workgroups and cross-platform collaborations.
• Security features extend beyond encryption and PIN entry. The datAshur PRO is designed with strict access controls and tamper-resistance to minimize the risk of unauthorized recovery or bypass. There are no exposed backdoors or software helpers that could be exploited by malware. Users benefit from the assurance that even if the unit is lost, stolen, or confiscated, the data remains inaccessible without the correct PIN. The device’s self-contained security model makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require compliance with data-protection standards and want to minimize the attack surface associated with removable storage devices.
• Versatile, cross-platform compatibility ensures you aren’t locked into a single ecosystem. The datAshur PRO operates across common desktop and laptop platforms without requiring special drivers. That means you can move between Windows machines, macOS systems, or Linux workstations without reconfiguring software or purchasing additional licenses. This flexibility is particularly valuable for professionals who work across multiple devices or in environments where IT policies vary. The drive’s intuitive PIN-based unlocking workflow reduces the friction of secure data handling, enabling you to focus on your work rather than wrestling with encryption software or complex setup procedures.

How to install iStorage datAshur PRO 32 GB

• Unpack the datAshur PRO and identify the USB connector. Ensure the drive is clean and free from debris before use.
• Plug the USB 3.0 connector into a free USB port on your computer. If you are using an older system, USB 2.0 compatibility will be supported, though you may experience slower transfer speeds.
• The LED indicator on the drive will illuminate to show power and readiness. On first use, you may be prompted to enter a PIN on the onboard keypad. Enter your pre-assigned PIN to unlock the device. If you haven’t set a PIN yet, follow the on-device prompts to configure a secure PIN for subsequent unlocks.
• Once unlocked, the datAshur PRO appears as a standard removable drive in your operating system. You can drag and drop files, copy data, or perform backups just as you would with any USB flash drive. Remember to manage your data securely by organizing sensitive files within encrypted folders or by deleting copies you no longer need, and always eject the drive before physically disconnecting it.
• To secure data after use, simply unplug the drive or lock it after you finish by re-entering your PIN to re-engage encryption before storage. If you forget your PIN, data remains encrypted and inaccessible; there is no backdoor restore, which underscores the importance of securely recording your PIN in a safe location and following your organization’s PIN management policies.
