iStorage datAshur PRO2 128GB - USB 3.2 Secure Encrypted Flash Drive

J'ai suivi toutes les instructions, pas moyen de configurer le code. J'ai retourné l'article.

After researching several options for secure, encrypted, and tamperproof USB storage I ended up going with the iStorage datAshur Pro 2 secure USB flash drive. I have owned an IronKey 16GB Drive for 8 years or so and absolutely love it, BUT the cost for a 128GB IronKey Drive was nearly 5X the cost of this drive. I've read reviews on this product and had initial concerns about the keyboard, complexity of set-up, and the outer dust cover. Take the 5 minutes to read and follow the instructions and the set-up is absolutely straight-forward (dare I suggest easy). The keyboard is small, but very tactile and has distinct feedback when each button is pushed. The outer case seems fine to me, but I won't be attaching to a keyring for everyday carry. As suggested when reading the capabilities of this device, it is a very secure USB storage device, but it does not offer an online encrypted back-up should the device be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The IronKey does offer online encrypted backup, but at a very steep price differential. In fact, you could buy several of the DatAshur devices (conceivably for backups) for the cost on one IronKey. Clearly not as convenient as an encrypted online option, but for most people I think is a great solution. As a data conscious and technology-astute user, I highly recommend the datAshur PRO2 - Secure Encrypted Flash Drive

I've had this device for quite a few months now. Used it nearly everyday, and it's still in emaculate condition! Absolutely no wear on the pin pads and the device works just like it was brand new! I had a technical issue about 3 weeks ago, but it was sorted out by the wonderful support guys, turns out I didn't know how to format it properly.. but honestly this is a lifesaver, I've personally checked their Certifications and it matches with what they advertise. I even bought my Dad one of their new M2's, ready for father's day here in the UK!

This review is for iStorage datAshur PRO2 128 GB USB-A Secure Flash Drive. This is the first time that I have needed a password protected flash drive. After much research there were about three brands that came up as reliable. This was the lowest price of the three that had a cover and was dust/water resistant. I only needed to use this once and was giving it to the other person and was not planning on getting it back, so I didn't want to go crazy on the money. The case is a very strong aluminum body with aluminum cover. The cover seals up very tightly and the lanyard loop is a part of the metal body, so no chance of it breaking off. Make sure you follow the directions. The PDF manual that in the USB drive is far more extensive that the small paper manual they include. There are an insane number of security options and setups that you can do with this drive. Make sure you follow the instructions. The first step is to let it charge up in the USB before setting up. Some of the setup options are easy, but others are quite tedious. You have options for an admin account and user accounts on it. Even options for deleting the data. It has a robust set of options, but I have no idea who can memorize all of them. I just went with the basic admin account setup. I wish the device was a bit more straight forward. Perhaps the issue is I am not experienced in using secure USB drives, so I am not familiar with required security needs. The one thing I find annoying and would sometimes forget is that you have to press the arrow button for a second to turn it on, then press key button, then put in the password, and then the key button again to unlock. It seems like too many steps, but it probably has to do with the number of security options. Overall, it's been a good drive. If I were using it for personal use, I might consider one of the other ones with easier usage options, but as mentioned prior, since I am not a regular user of secure drives there might be very legitimate reasons for all the security setup options.

Excellent quality high end encrypted stick. Oozes quality in the hand and the lid gives a satisfying click when pressed into place against the seal. The buttons are tactile but may be a bit small for anyone without much dexterity or large "sausage fingers". Easy to setup and operate for someone who is technically minded but those that aren't may struggle.
