The Colorful Defender of Data
The iStorage diskAshur2 is the world’s first NCSC CPA, FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NLNCSA BSPA, and NATO Restricted Level certified hardware-encrypted SSD/HDD. While the PRO3 is the flagship for high-tier government work, the diskAshur2 is the versatile, high-security choice for small businesses and creative professionals who need military-grade protection in a more vibrant, portable form. It features an integrated USB 3.2 cable and an onboard keypad, ensuring that your PIN is never entered on a computer screen where it could be logged by malware.

Technical Breakdown
The diskAshur2 utilizes EDGE™ Technology to ensure the data encryption key is kept entirely separate from the drive’s storage controller.
-
Dual Encryption: The secure microprocessor employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper and bypass attacks.
-
Deadlock State: If the drive detects an automated brute-force attack (multiple rapid PIN attempts), it enters a "deadlock" frozen state where it will only respond after a hard power-reset.
-
Epoxy Sealing: All internal components are covered with a layer of super-tough epoxy resin. It is virtually impossible to remove this resin without causing permanent, catastrophic damage to the encryption chips.
-
Wear-Resistant Keys: The polymer coating on the keypad hides key usage. This prevents a hacker from identifying "faded" buttons to guess your most-used digits.
How Your Delivery Works
-
Travel-Ready Packaging: The drive arrives with a high-quality protective carry case (sleeve) included in the box.
-
Integrated Connectivity: You don't need to carry extra cords; the USB-A cable is physically attached to the drive and tucks neatly into the side of the chassis.
-
Setup Logic: The drive is shipped in an "unconfigured" state. You must set your own 7-15 digit Admin PIN immediately upon first use.
-
No Admin Rights Required: Because the encryption is 100% hardware-based, you don't need "Administrator privileges" on the computer to use the drive—perfect for restricted office environments.
Physical Dimensions & Weight
The diskAshur2 varies in thickness and weight based on the capacity and drive type (SSD vs. HDD).

-
Weight (3TB-5TB HDD): 325g (11.5 oz)
