diskAshur M2 PIN
Introducing the diskAshur M2The diskAshur M PIN authenticated, hardware encrypted SSD has a new, ultra-portable, rugged and sleek design, incorporating the most advanced security attributes that iStorage is renowned for.
The diskAshur M encrypts data using FIPS PUB 197 validated, AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption and incorporates a Common Criteria EAL 5+ (Hardware Certified) secure microprocessor, which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass physical attacks and more.
The drive features ultra-fast backwards compatible USB 3.2 data transfer speeds and is available in capacities ranging from 120GB to 2TB. The diskAshur M is lightweight, dust and waterproof (IP68 certified), shock proof (survives a drop of 4m on to a concrete surface) and crush-proof (withstands the weight of a 2.7 ton vehicle), making it extremely rugged and ultra-portable.
Easy to useSimply enter a 7-15 digit PIN to authenticate and use as a
normal portable SSD. When the drive is disconnected, all data is encrypted using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption (no software required).
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant, tamper proof & evident design
All data stored on the diskAshur M is encrypted using FIPS PUB 197 validated, AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. All components incorporated within the diskAshur M 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 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.
Rugged, Shockproof & Crushproof
The diskAshur M is extremely rugged, surviving a drop of up to 4m onto a concrete surface. The drive is also crushproof, withstands the weight of a 2.7 ton vehicle.
No need to worry about spills
The drives IP68 accreditation means it will survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes and deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand.
Slim & sleek design
Lightweight and smaller than the size of a phone, making it ultra-portable.
Independent User & Admin PINs
Which makes it 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.
User PIN enrolment
The Admin can set a restriction policy for the User PIN. This includes setting the minimum length of the PIN, as well as requiring the input of one or more Special Characters. The Special Character functions as SHIFT + digit.
Transfer your files in seconds
Lightning fast backwards compatible USB 3.2 data transfer speeds.
One-time User recovery PIN
Admin configurable, extremely useful in situations where a User has forgotten their PIN, allowing the User to unlock the device and set a new User PIN.
Incorporates a Common Criteria EAL 5+ (Hardware Certified) secure microprocessor
Which 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.
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
Read only (write protect) - Dual Mode
Both the Admin and User can configure the diskAshur M 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 & Host independent - works across any host and embedded systems
No software required; the drive will work on any device with a USB port. USB Type C and Type A connectivity (included)
Compatible with: MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients, Embedded Systems, Citrix and VMware
Bootable feature
Install an OS on the diskAshur M2 and boot directly from it. diskAshur M2 PIN
