iStorage diskAshur2 5 TB — Secure Portable HDD with Hardware Encryption

The iStorage diskAshur2 5 TB is the ultimate portable storage solution for anyone who demands top-tier data security without sacrificing speed or convenience. This PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted external hard drive protects your اطلاعات with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit encryption, performing all security functions within the device itself. Designed for effortless, software-free operation, diskAshur2 offers plug-and-play simplicity while delivering enterprise-grade protection for your most sensitive files. Whether you’re traveling, commuting between offices, or simply working from shared spaces, this drive ensures your data stays confidential even if the device is lost or stolen.

Built for real-world use, diskAshur2 integrates a tactile onboard keypad for direct PIN entry, eliminating the need for software-based authentication that could be vulnerable to malware or phishing. Access is granted only after you input the correct PIN, at which point the drive unlocks and data transfers occur securely in hardware. When you disconnect the drive, it locks automatically, restoring a secure state and preventing any incidental exposure of your data. This combination of hardware-based encryption and independent authentication makes diskAshur2 a trusted choice for finance, healthcare, legal, education, and IT professionals who require portable storage that can be trusted in travel, in transit, or in open work environments.

In addition to its security prowess, diskAshur2 delivers practical performance and compatibility. The USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface provides fast and reliable data transfers, enabling rapid backups, large file moves, and smooth media editing on the go. The drive supports plug-and-play across major operating systems—Windows, macOS, and Linux—without requiring any drivers or software installations. And because all encryption happens in hardware, there’s no software footprint to manage, update, or potentially compromise. The dust and water-resistant design adds resilience to everyday use, making it suitable for fieldwork, mobile workflows, or any setting where dust, moisture, or incidental exposure could pose a risk to sensitive data. With its compact, rugged form factor, diskAshur2 is the kind of portable storage you can carry with confidence, knowing that your most important information is protected by hardware-level security you control directly at the device.

• Hardware Encryption & PIN Access — Real-time AES-XTS 256-bit encryption is performed inside the disk’s controller, with access strictly controlled by the onboard PIN keypad. This means data remains encrypted even if the drive is lost or stolen, and no sensitive information ever leaves the device unprotected.
• Software-Free, Plug-and-Play — No software to install or configure. Simply connect to a USB port, enter your PIN to unlock, and begin transferring files. Compatible across Windows, macOS, and Linux without drivers, and fully self-contained for secure use on any compatible system.
• Ultra-Fast USB 3.1 Transfer — Harnesses USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds to move large datasets quickly, making it ideal for backups, media libraries, and project archives. The hardware encryption runs in real time, so security does not come at the cost of performance.
• Dust & Water Resistance — Built to withstand the rigors of mobile use, the diskAshur2 offers dust and moisture resistance for added durability in travel, fieldwork, or crowded workspaces where environmental exposure is a concern.
• Secure, Mobile Storage — A compact, pocketable form factor paired with enterprise-grade security, perfect for professionals who must carry confidential files between locations. Your data remains protected by hardware encryption and PIN access, giving you peace of mind on the move.
