diskAshur DT2 Hardware Encrypted HDD by iStorage
Please Note: The diskAshur DT2 22TB Capacity is on Backorder.
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certification
The diskAshur DT² USB 3.2 Gen 1 HDD is a PIN-authenticated, FIPS certified, AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encrypted desktop drive that securely encrypts, stores and protects data to military standards.
The diskAshur DT² has been certified to the highest government accreditations (FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NCSC CPA, NLNCSA BSPA & NATO Restricted), helping you safeguard valuable and sensitive data to ensure compliance with stringent data protection and confidentiality regulations and directives, such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA, DORA and more.:
The diskAshur DT2Â is available in capacities:* 4TB, 8TB, 14TB, 18TB, 22TB, 24TB, 26TB, 30TB
Easy to Use
Simply enter a 7-15 digit PIN to authenticate and use as a normal external drive.
When the drive is disconnected, all data is encrypted using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption (no software required).

FIPS 140-2 Level 2/3 Certified
All data stored on the diskAshur DT2 is encrypted using FIPS PUB 197 validated, AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption.
All components incorporated within the diskAshur DT² are completely covered by a layer of super tough epoxy resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. The drive is also designed to be tamper evident making it obvious to the User if it has been pried open and tampered with.
Wear resistant epoxy-coated keypad
The onboard keypad is covered with a layer of polymer coating that protects the keys and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys.
Government Certified to the Highest Standards
The diskAshur DT2 HDD is certified to the highest standards, including FIPS 140-2 Level 2/3, CPA (Commercial Product Assurance), BSPA (Baseline Security Product Assessment) and NATO Restricted Level.

Common Criteria EAL5+ (Hardware Certified) Secure Microprocessor
Incorporating a secure microprocessor that is Common Criteria EAL5+ certified, this drive enhances security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The data encryption key is protected by FIPS and Common Criteria validated wrapping algorithms.
This offers ultimate security against hackers, detecting and responding to tampering with features such as:
- Dedicated hardware for protection against SPA/DPA/SEMA, DEMA attacks
- Advanced protection against physical attacks, including Active Shield, Enhance Protection Object, CStack checker, Slope Detector and Parity Errors
- Environmental Protection Systems protecting against voltage monitor, frequency monitor, temperature monitor and light protection
- Secure Memory Management/Access Protection
Independent User and Admin PINs
The diskAshur DT2 is perfect for corporate and government deployment. If the User forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked using the Admin PIN. The Administrator can then allow the User to set a new User PIN.
Read-only (write protect) - Dual Mode
Both the Admin and User can configure the diskAshur DT2 as a read only (write protect) drive. If configured by the Admin, the drive cannot be modified or disabled by the User, allowing the Admin to pre-provision a drive with pre-loaded content as read-only for the User.
OS & Platform Independent
Cross-platform compatible with:
MS Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero, Clients, Embedded Systems, Citrix, VMware, DVR’s, Medical Equipment, Printers, Scanners, CCTV.
In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port!
Ultrafast transfer speeds
Transfer your files in seconds. This drive is lightning fast backwards compatible USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer speeds.
286 MB/s Read Speeds
278 MB/s Write Speeds
OS & Host Independent - Works across any host and embedded systems
No software required; the drive will work on any device with a USB port.
Compatible with: MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients, Embedded Systems, Citrix and VMware
Brute force hack defense mechanism
First 5 incorrect PIN entries
The drive will freeze, requiring the drive to be disconnected and reconnected to the USB port to get a further five PIN entry attempts.
Next 5 incorrect PIN entries
If the following five (10 in total) consecutive PIN attempts are entered incorrectly again, the diskAshur PRO2 will freeze again. To get a further and final five PIN attempts (15 in total), the “shift” button must be pressed whilst inserting the USB cable to the USB port and then an iStorage preset PIN will need to be entered.
Last 5 incorrect PIN entries
On the fifteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry, the diskAshur PRO2 assumes it is being attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point the drive can be reset to factory default settings and redeployed.
Auto-Lock
Automatically locks when unplugged from the host computer or when power to the USB port is turned off. It can also be set to automatically lock after a predetermined amount of time.
Self-Destruct
Pre-program the drive with a self-destruct PIN, once entered, the data, encrypted encryption key and all PINs are deleted and rendered as lost forever.
Drive Reset
Deletes the encrypted encryption key, all PINs and renders all data as lost forever. The drive can then be redeployed which randomly generates a new encrypted encryption key, a process that can be repeated as many times as required.
Whitelisting on Networks
Configured with a unique VID/PID and internal/external serial number with barcode, allowing easy integration into standard end-point management software (white-listing), to meet internal corporate requirements.
