With real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, a dedicated PIN keypad, and a software-free design, this device keeps your most sensitive information safe wherever your work takes you. It’s compact enough to slide into a laptop bag, yet rugged and durable enough to withstand the rigors of travel, fieldwork, and daily commutes. The 128GB capacity provides ample space for secure backups, financial records, legal documents, and media files, all protected by on-device security that travels with you. Built to meet the demands of professionals who cannot compromise on privacy, the diskAshur2 SSD delivers enterprise-grade security in a portable form factor that is intuitive to use and easy to carry. Whether you’re a journalist, consultant, healthcare professional, or executive handling confidential data, this drive makes encryption effortless, reliable, and always-on in real time. The inclusion of USB 3.1 ensures fast transfer speeds so you can move large files quickly, while its dust and water resistance adds a layer of resilience for on-the-go use in varying environments. Security is embedded at the hardware level, meaning the protection travels with the drive and does not rely on software installed on the host computer. This separation from the host environment minimizes attack surfaces and makes unauthorized access far less likely, even if the drive is lost or stolen. The diskAshur2 SSD’s PIN-based access gives you full control over who can unlock and read the data, and the pad itself is designed to deter on-device peeking and keylogging, providing an additional shield for sensitive information. In short, this is a portable storage solution that blends convenience with uncompromising security, designed for everyday security and high-stakes data protection alike.
