How to install iStorage datAshur PRO2

Installing and using the datAshur PRO2 is straightforward and does not require any software installation. The device is designed to be plug-and-play across major operating systems, with security managed entirely on the hardware. Follow these simple steps to begin protecting your data in minutes:

• Step 1: Insert the datAshur PRO2 into a USB port on your computer or compatible host device.
• Step 2: If prompted by your operating system, allow the device to be detected as a removable USB drive. No drivers are needed.
• Step 3: On the device itself, enter your existing 6–16 digit PIN to unlock the drive. The on-device processor will decrypt data in real time as you access files.
• Step 4: Transfer files to and from the drive as you normally would, using your preferred file manager. All data at rest remains encrypted on the device.
• Step 5: When you’re finished, eject the drive safely from your computer. Remove the USB from the port to ensure complete data protection when not in use.

Tips for optimal security and usability:

• Choose a unique PIN and avoid predictable patterns or easily guessable codes. Consider a 6–16 digit combination that you can remember but others cannot easily infer.
• Do not share your PIN with others. If collaboration is required, create separate encrypted drives or use role-based access methods in your organization.
• Maintain the physical security of the device. Store it in a secure location when not in use and avoid leaving it unattended in public spaces.
