iStorage datAshur PRO+C 32GB | Secure USB Type-C Memory Stick

The iStorage datAshur PRO+C is a purpose-built, user-friendly USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C flash drive designed for serious security without sacrificing everyday convenience. Built for professionals who handle highly sensitive information, this secure memory stick combines on-device PIN protection with robust hardware encryption to guard your data against loss, theft, and compromise. With AES-XTS 256-bit encryption performed in hardware, your files stay encrypted at rest and only become readable after you enter your PIN on the device itself. The result is portable security you can trust whether you’re mid-commute, in the field, or in a busy office. The datAshur PRO+C is more than a storage device—it is a portable security solution that helps you meet strict data protection requirements while delivering seamless performance and simplicity.

One of the standout features of the PRO+C is its emphasis on simplicity without compromising security. There’s no software to install, no complicated authentication routines to master, and no reliance on external drivers. Instead, you unlock the drive directly on the device with your PIN, and once unlocked, it behaves like a standard USB drive for file transfers, backups, and secure sharing. This approach keeps your workflow smooth and minimizes the risk of misconfiguration that could expose sensitive data. The hardware encryption runs independently of the host computer, ensuring that even if the drive is disconnected or lost, your data remains inaccessible without the correct PIN.

The 32GB capacity is ideal for storing confidential documents, legal files, financial statements, project briefs, or sensitive media without overburdening your pocket or your device’s storage. While some users demand larger capacities, others appreciate the compact form factor that fits comfortably in a pocket, alongside a business card or keys. The datAshur PRO+C’s compact size makes it an excellent companion for travel, remote work, or fieldwork where you need secure access to important files on demand. The inclusion of a Type-C to Type-A adapter expands its versatility, enabling quick compatibility with both modern USB-C hosts and older USB-A-enabled devices. This ensures you can securely access your data on laptops, desktops, tablets, and other USB-enabled devices in a wide range of environments.

Security and compliance are central to the datAshur PRO+C’s design. In addition to PIN protection and hardware AES-XTS 256-bit encryption, the drive is built to meet stringent expectations for protecting sensitive data. The FIPS 140-3 Level 3 pending certification signals a commitment to government-grade security standards, providing reassurance for organizations that must adhere to formal information assurance guidelines. While the certification is pending, the underlying architecture is designed to resist tampering and unauthorized access, helping you meet internal policy requirements and external regulatory obligations. Whether you’re safeguarding healthcare records, legal documents, financial data, or intellectual property, the PRO+C offers a robust security foundation that can support your data protection program.

In addition to security, performance and compatibility are important to consider. The datAshur PRO+C leverages USB 3.2 Gen 1 to deliver efficient data transfers, enabling you to move large files quickly while maintaining a secure environment. The Type-C interface ensures broad compatibility with modern laptops, desktops, and mobile devices that use USB-C connectors, making this drive an appealing choice for users who need reliable portable storage across multiple devices. The inclusion of the Type-C to Type-A adapter further broadens compatibility, so you can connect to a wider range of host devices, whether you’re working on a Windows PC, a Mac, a Linux workstation, or a compatible tablet. The drive’s on-device authentication ensures that the host system never has access to your unencrypted data until you unlock it, adding an extra layer of protection in scenarios where the device may be temporarily connected to shared machines.

Beyond its core security features, the datAshur PRO+C is designed with practicality in mind. Its plug-and-play nature means there’s no software installation hurdle, making it ideal for quick on-boarding of new devices or contractors who require secure file transfer capabilities. Its rugged, pocket-friendly design helps reduce the risk of damage during transport, and the seamless user experience minimizes the learning curve for team members who may not be security specialists. For businesses, this translates into streamlined workflows, easier policy enforcement, and a reduced likelihood of risky workarounds that could expose data. For individuals, it offers peace of mind that their personal or professional files are protected by a trusted, hardware-based security solution as they move between locations, devices, and networks.

As data protection becomes increasingly important across industries, the datAshur PRO+C provides a practical, compliant, and portable option for secure data handling. Its combination of on-device PIN protection, hardware AES-XTS 256-bit encryption, and pending FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification demonstrates a commitment to resilient security without compromising usability. Whether you’re managing confidential client records, safeguarding sensitive research, or simply protecting personal information on the move, this secure USB Type-C memory stick provides a reliable balance of security, speed, and convenience that today’s professionals require.
