Product details

The diskAshur DT2 is a hardware-encrypted, PIN-authenticated desktop HDD that is certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 3. It is an easy-to-use, ultra-secure, portable USB 3.2 desktop drive with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, a software-free design, and super-fast data transfer speeds. The diskAshur DT2 features a user-friendly keyboard design that allows you to securely access the drive with your own 7-15 digit PIN. Thanks to its software-free setup and operation, the drive is platform- and device-independent, working on all operating systems, including all versions of MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients, and embedded systems. It truly works on any device with a USB port! One of the unique security features of the GDPR-compliant diskAshur DT2 is the dedicated hardware-based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs integrated physical protection mechanisms designed to guard against external tampering, bypass attacks, and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur DT2 responds to an automated attack by entering a Deadlock-Freeze state, rendering all such attacks ineffective. Simply put: Without a PIN, there’s no way in!.
