The iStorage datAshur PRO takes a different approach. Authentication happens on the drive itself, before it ever connects to a computer. Enter your PIN on the built-in alphanumeric keypad, the drive unlocks, and only then does it appear as a USB mass storage device. Pull it out, and it locks instantly. No password manager, no software, no host dependency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe encryption is AES-XTS 256-bit, implemented entirely in hardware by a dedicated secure microprocessor. The encryption key is never exposed to the host and is never stored in an unencrypted state. FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified for the full device — the same standard required for classified government systems — and validated to NLNCSA DEP-V and NATO Restricted, the datAshur PRO is cleared for use in environments where most encrypted drives are not even considered. The epoxy-sealed internals make physical tampering effectively impossible without destroying the components themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified — full device certification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNLNCSA DEP-V and NATO Restricted validated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES-XTS 256-bit full disk hardware encryption — always on, no software required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePIN authenticated — 7 to 15 digit alphanumeric PIN, independent User and Admin PINs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP57 rated — dust-proof and water-resistant to 1m for 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIL-STD-810F military-grade durability tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTamper-proof and tamper-evident — epoxy-sealed internals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-destruct PIN — instantly and permanently wipes all data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 3.2 Gen 1 — 170 MB\/s read, 146 MB\/s write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in rechargeable battery — PIN entry without a host required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmune to BadUSB attacks — digitally-signed firmware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead-only (write protect) mode — configurable by Admin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on any device with a USB port — no drivers, OS independent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and developed in the UK | 3-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe datAshur PRO is built around a rechargeable Li-Polymer battery, which means the PIN keypad operates independently of the host — you can unlock the drive before plugging it in, handy for shared or restricted workstations. The aluminium sleeve provides structural protection and the IP57 rating handles dust, dirt, and submersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes. MIL-STD-810F testing rounds out the physical durability story. This is a drive that goes in a bag, onto a production floor, or into a field kit without concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor enterprise deployment, the Admin and User PIN separation gives IT departments full control — set PIN complexity requirements, configure read-only mode, assign one-time recovery PINs, and reset User access without ever compromising the Admin PIN or the data. GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA, and DORA compliance requirements for hardware-encrypted removable media are satisfied entirely in hardware, with no cloud dependency and no subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiStorage datAshur PRO Encrypted USB Flash Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium protective sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB charging cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Q\u0026amp;A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What happens if I enter the wrong PIN too many times?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e After 10 consecutive incorrect User PIN entries, the User PIN is deleted and the drive can only be unlocked via the Admin PIN or a one-time recovery PIN.

NATO Restricted means the drive meets NATO's requirements for protecting information classified at the Restricted level.

The PRO uses a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified module with IP57 and NATO\/NLNCSA validations. Both use AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption and the same PIN authentication model. If NATO Restricted or NLNCSA DEP-V compliance is a requirement, the PRO is the correct choice; if EAL5+ microprocessor certification and IP68 are the priority, choose the
