FAQ
What encryption standard does the datAshur PRO2 use?
The drive employs AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, which secures all data in real time. This military-grade encryption is implemented directly in the drive's circuitry, ensuring no software is needed on the host device and maintaining security even if the drive is disconnected or lost.
Is this drive compatible with Mac and Linux systems?
Yes, the datAshur PRO2 works seamlessly with macOS, Linux, Windows, Chrome OS, Android, and various embedded platforms. Its hardware-based encryption and USB interface require no drivers or software installation, making it universally compatible with any device that has a USB port.
How does the password protection work?
Access is controlled via a 7- to 15-digit PIN entered on the drive's integrated keypad. This PIN authenticates the user directly on the device, unlocking the encrypted storage. Once disconnected, the drive automatically re-locks and encrypts all data, preventing unauthorized access without the correct PIN.
What is the significance of FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification?
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 is a U.S. government standard validating the drive's encryption module for sensitive data. This certification ensures the hardware meets rigorous security requirements, making it suitable for regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government that must comply with data protection laws such as HIPAA or GDPR.
Can the datAshur PRO2 withstand harsh environments?
Yes, it features an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, allowing it to operate reliably in challenging conditions. The rugged construction protects against physical wear, making it ideal for field use, industrial settings, or travel where drives may be exposed to moisture, dirt, or impacts.
What are the data transfer speeds of this drive?
The drive supports USB 3.2 (Gen 1) Type A connectivity, delivering maximum read speeds of 168 MB/s and write speeds of 116 MB/s. These speeds enable fast file transfers while maintaining full encryption, and the interface is backward compatible with older USB ports for broad usability.
