The iStorage diskAshur DT2 is engineered for individuals and teams who require uncompromising privacy settings, whether you’re protecting client records, personal information, or proprietary research. The hardware-based encryption and PIN access ensure that even if the drive is lost, stolen, or dropped into the wrong hands, your information remains locked down behind a strong, independent security boundary.

Whether you’re archiving decades of work, backing up critical information, or transmitting sensitive datasets, the diskAshur DT2 is built to fit into your workflow without slowing you down. The 16 TB capacity means fewer constraints when preserving multimedia projects, large databases, or legal and medical records. Real-time hardware encryption guarantees that your data remains protected during active use, so you don’t need to pause for encryption tasks or worry about performance penalties caused by software encryption. And because the device is software-free, it avoids compatibility issues, driver conflicts, or operating-system-specific quirks, ensuring smooth operation across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments once unlocked with your PIN.

Security and convenience converge in a way that supports compliance with data-handling policies and regulations. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification demonstrates alignment with high-assurance cryptographic standards, making the device suitable for regulated industries. The PIN-based authentication adds an intimate layer of protection, ensuring that only authorized users can unlock the drive. Combined with the physical durability and dust/water resistance, this drive is well-suited for teams that travel between offices, client sites, or data centers where reliability and security are paramount.

How to Install iStorage diskAshur DT2

Installing and using the diskAshur DT2 is simple and secure. Follow these steps to begin protecting your data right away:

  1. Unbox and connect the diskAshur DT2 to your computer using the included USB cable. The drive is USB-powered, so no separate power supply is required if your system provides sufficient USB power.
  2. Wake the built-in keypad and enter your chosen PIN. Press the Enter key on the keypad to unlock the drive. The drive will become accessible to your operating system as a standard removable storage device, once unlocked.
  3. Copy, move, or back up your files as needed. All data written to the drive is encrypted in real time by the hardware controller, ensuring ongoing protection without software encryption overhead.
  4. When you finish your session, use the appropriate OS command to eject the drive safely before disconnecting. Always verify the device is no longer in use to prevent data loss.
  5. If you forget your PIN, follow the manufacturer’s recovery or reset procedure to restore access. For retained security, never share your PIN and consider changing it periodically for ongoing protection.

Tip: For maximum security, use a distinct PIN that you can remember but that is not easily guessable. Avoid reusing PINs across devices or services. The PIN-based unlock is your first line of defense; pairing it with responsible handling of the physical device ensures a strong data protection posture for your organization or personal use.

Best ball ever!
Color: Red-Blue, Size: Large Size 3 (8"), Color: Red-Blue, Size: Large Size 3 (8")
Oh my goodness. My cane corso (15 mos) LOVES this ball. It’s easy for them to pick up because of all the little handles sewn into the ball. It’s easy to throw as well. The only thing is he likes to chew them off if he gets free time with the ball. The ball itself is very sturdy. highly recommend, and I’ll be ordering more. We play with this every morning and he’s so excited to take it outside.

zelda‘s “indoor” ⚽️ ball!
Color: Squeaky Green, Size: Medium Size 2 (6")
zelda loves her soccer ball - because of the fabric “tabs”, and the way she treats her toys, we keep it inside. she loves to place all of her toys and bones on our bed, after they’ve been cleaned. this ball is perfect and soft enough to throw it down our steps, where she will run down, retrieve it, and bring it back to the bed. it arrives deflated and comes with the pump and two needles - the pump is not the sturdiest and felt like it was not inflating, but after only having to reflate it once with a bit of air since receiving it ~5-6 months ago, it still holds up!
