Product Features
Technical Overview
The datAshur PRO+A delivers sequential read speeds up to 300 MB/s and write speeds up to 239 MB/s via its USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type-A interface, enabling rapid file transfers for large datasets. Its hardware-based encryption engine performs all cryptographic operations onboard, eliminating software vulnerabilities and ensuring zero data exposure to host systems.
The drive's security architecture includes tamper-evident design with brute-force self-destruct protection, which permanently erases encryption keys and data after multiple incorrect PIN attempts. It supports dual operating modes: standard read/write and read-only (write-protect) for secure data distribution. The integrated LED provides visual status indicators for power, activity, and authentication states.
Relevant factors for this section include Storage Capacity, Maximum Read Speed, Maximum Write Speed, Host Interface. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

Deployment / Use Cases
The datAshur PRO+A is engineered for scenarios requiring secure physical data movement between systems, facilities, or personnel where network transfer is impractical or prohibited. Its hardware encryption and rugged design make it ideal for field operations, secure data exchange, and offline backup in controlled environments.
Common applications include transferring classified or sensitive documents between secure networks, transporting forensic data from investigation sites, distributing encrypted software updates to air-gapped systems, and maintaining secure backups in harsh environmental conditions. The read-only mode enables secure distribution of reference materials, policies, or software images without risk of modification.
Physical Profile
The drive measures 3.15 inches (80 mm) in height and 0.79 inches (20 mm) in width, with a compact form factor that includes a key ring attachment for secure carrying. Its blue anodized aluminum casing provides both aesthetic distinction and physical durability, while the integrated keypad is designed for repeated use without degradation. The lightweight construction at 0.882 ounces (25 grams) ensures portability without compromising structural integrity.

FAQ
What encryption standard does the datAshur PRO+A use, and is it certified?
The drive uses 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption, which is implemented in dedicated onboard circuitry. It is certified to FIPS 140-3 Level 3, meaning the encryption module has been independently validated by the U.S. government to meet stringent security requirements for protecting sensitive data.
How fast is data transfer with this encrypted flash drive?
The datAshur PRO+A achieves maximum sequential read speeds of 300 MB/s and write speeds of 239 MB/s via its USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type-A interface. These speeds enable efficient transfer of large files while maintaining full hardware encryption without performance degradation compared to software-based solutions.
Is the drive rugged enough for field or industrial use?
Yes, the drive features an IP68-rated aluminum casing that is crushproof, dustproof, and water-resistant. This rugged construction allows it to withstand physical stress, environmental exposure, and accidental drops, making it suitable for deployment in field operations, industrial settings, or harsh transportation conditions.
How does the PIN authentication and security work?
Authentication requires entering an 8-15 digit PIN on the integrated wear-resistant keypad. The drive supports independent user and admin PINs, with admin privileges for configuration changes. After multiple incorrect PIN attempts, the brute-force self-destruct feature permanently erases encryption keys and data. The drive auto-locks when removed from a USB port or after a configurable idle period.
Does this drive require special software or drivers to operate?
No, the datAshur PRO+A is completely OS independent. All encryption and decryption occurs within the drive's hardware, so no software, drivers, or administrative rights are needed on the host computer. After PIN authentication, it appears as a standard mass storage device compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and other systems.
What warranty and compliance features are included?
The drive comes with a 3-year limited warranty and free lifetime technical support. It is TAA compliant for U.S. federal procurement and meets environmental directives including WEEE, RoHS, and REACH. These features ensure long-term reliability and adherence to regulatory requirements for government and enterprise deployments.
