Secure 18 TB desktop drive

The iStorage diskAshur DT2 provides 18 TB of hardware-encrypted storage in a 3.5-inch desktop form factor. A built-in keypad accepts a 7-15 digit PIN to unlock the drive before any data becomes accessible. AES-XTS 256-bit encryption operates in real time without requiring host software. The unit is certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 3 for regulatory compliance.

Verify USB power and port

This desktop drive requires its own external power supply, so confirm a mains socket is available at the intended location. The interface uses a USB 3.2 connection that is backward compatible with USB 3.1 and USB 2.0 ports. No driver installation is needed on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS or Android. Ensure the host device can supply sufficient bus power for the USB handshake.

Keypad and certification replace software

The integrated keypad removes the need for encryption utilities or license management on every machine. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation and a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified microprocessor satisfy strict data-protection mandates. Automatic deadlock engages after repeated failed PIN entries to thwart brute-force attempts. Read speeds reach 277 MB/s and write speeds reach 271 MB/s over USB 3.2.
