Product Features
Technical Overview
The datAshur PRO+C combines high-speed USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type-C connectivity with enterprise-grade security features. The drive uses hardware-based encryption rather than software, ensuring that encryption keys never leave the device. This approach provides stronger protection against software-based attacks and maintains compatibility across multiple operating systems without requiring additional drivers.
Performance is balanced with durability through an IP57-rated rugged design that resists dust and water ingress. The rectangular form factor includes an integrated keypad for PIN entry, LED status indicators, and a key ring attachment point for portability. The drive supports both admin and user modes, allowing organizations to manage access policies while maintaining ease of use for end users.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What encryption standard does the datAshur PRO+C use?
The drive uses AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, which is implemented directly in the device's circuitry rather than through software. This FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified encryption method ensures that all data written to the drive is encrypted in real time, and the encryption keys never leave the secure hardware module. The XTS mode provides additional protection against certain cryptographic attacks compared to basic AES implementations.
How fast is data transfer with this flash drive?
The datAshur PRO+C achieves maximum read speeds of 310 MB/s and write speeds of 246 MB/s when connected via USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type-C. These speeds make it suitable for transferring large files like database backups, virtual machine images, or multimedia projects. The drive maintains backwards compatibility with older USB standards, though transfer rates will be limited by the host port's capabilities.
What devices are compatible with this encrypted flash drive?
The drive works with any device that has a USB port, including computers running Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android. It also supports thin clients, zero clients, embedded systems, and virtualized environments like Citrix and VMware. No additional software or drivers are required—the encryption and authentication are handled entirely by the drive's hardware, making it truly plug-and-play across platforms.
How does the PIN protection system work?
Users set an 8 to 15-digit PIN using the integrated keypad on the drive itself. To access the encrypted data, you must enter the correct PIN each time the drive is connected. The drive supports both admin and user modes, allowing organizations to set different access levels. After multiple consecutive incorrect PIN attempts, the drive activates brute force self-destruct protection, permanently erasing the encryption keys to prevent unauthorized access.
What does the IP57 rugged rating mean for this drive?
The IP57 rating indicates that the drive is protected against dust ingress (level 5) and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (level 7). This makes the datAshur PRO+C suitable for use in environments where it might be exposed to moisture, dust, or accidental spills. The rugged construction also includes wear-resistant materials to withstand daily handling in professional settings.
What is included in the package with the flash drive?
The package contains the datAshur PRO+C 128 GB USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type C flash drive, a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter for compatibility with standard USB ports, a quick start guide with setup instructions, and the product disclaimer documentation. The adapter ensures you can use the drive with both modern Type-C ports and legacy Type-A ports commonly found on older computers and peripherals.
