Review: Data is always secure with datAshur - Never go wrong with the datAshur brand. This is the only usb product that is whitelisted in my company. Needed it in a hurry and I wasn't disappointed. Works amazingly well, value for money and the speed in which it saves and retrieves data is matched. The size is cute and there is hardly any heat issues, definitely one to recognise as the best product around.
Review: A superb and safe way to carry your precious data - Brilliant! Despite some reviews claiming that it was difficult, if not impossible, to change the built-in security code to one user-chosen, I ordered this rather expensive flash drive and I was not disappointed. It really does what it claims to do; the code system is great, I was able to change it to my chosen character-and-numbers code (on my second attempt, it is true, but then I had failed to follow the instructions correctly the first time) and it is working beautifully ever since. I have been using it for almost a month now; it never fails to load, inserting the security code is as simple as in a hotel-room safe, for instance, and it feels really secure. I always carry with me, on a USB pen, an image of my credit cards, personal ID, driver's license and other important documents, in case the originals are lost or stolen, and I used to worry with the possibility of losing that pen and thus exposing my private data to anyone who would find it. This iStorage pen really solved my problem. It is an expensive gadget (and, unfortunately, I did pay for it the full price, therefore my review is not influenced by any offer or discount made by the manufacturer...), but I feel it is worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the brute force (10 incorrect entries wipes data) only work if there is an Admin code installed?**
A: If both Admin and User PINs have been created and a User enters an incorrect User PIN 10 (ten) consecutive times, the datAshur Pro’s brute force mechanism will trigger and the User PIN will be deleted. All data will remain on the datAshur Pro and can only be accessed by the Admin entering the correct Admin PIN. If Admin enters an incorrect Admin PIN 10 (ten) consecutive times, then both the User and Admin PINs, the encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever. The datAshur Pro will then revert back to factory default settings and will need to be formatted before it can be reused.

**Q: Can you download directly from an iphone 12 using a lightning to usb adapter?**
A: Dear Customer, 
 
Thank you for contacting iStorage Support. 

The datAshur range of drives can be used on an iPhone with a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter from Apple. Most third-party lightning to USB type A adapters will be compatible with the datAshur range.  
 
Once the drive is unlocked and connected via the adapter, you can simply use the Files app on your iPhone to access the files stored in the drive. To view the contents of the drive, tap Browse at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the device below Locations.

If you have any technical questions, please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team at support@istorage-uk.com or via telephone at +44 (0) 20 8991 6260.

**Q: Can you put them pin in before you plug it in?**
A: Yes, you can.  After entering the pin, the little LED will turn green.  You can then plug it in like a regular USB stick.

**Q: Will it charge from standard usb 2.0 port? what is the life cycle of the internal battery and how can it be replaced?**
A: The standard USB 2.0 port will work with this device.  The battery is a Lithium Ion and they typically have a 10+ year lifespan.  I haven't attempted to open the device.  The potential to damage the unit is high if you don't know exactly how to work on it.  I don't recommend you try to disassemble it.
