Review: Had issues - has since worked as needed. - After experiencing some issues, managed to get resolved, and has been a great purchase. Would recommend the product! Review: Great! Can use on any operating system - Just what I was looking for! I like having a copy of some documents on a secure drive. Yes, you can use cloud password/file vaults, but I like having the option of having it on a physical drive. With this one, the encryption is built into the thumb drive itself, so there is no software to update in order to use it. Just enter the password on the drive itself and plug it in. This is great because I also have a Chromebook and this works perfectly. Please understand that you have 10 seconds to enter your password, then the drive must be inserted within 30 seconds. No problem. It offers a nice option that lets you set the timeout period after which the drive turns off. Nice if you happen to leave it in your computer that's on. Don't forget your password. After 10 attempts it wipes your drive COMPLETELY, so you lose all your data and need to reformat the drive. Love this drive. ## Features - Real-time military grade XTS-AES 256-bit Hardware Encryption - PIN activated 7-15 digits - Alphanumeric keypad use a memorable number or word for your PIN - OS independent – compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Thin Clients etc - Super-fast USB 3.0 interface - Read-Only (Write Protect) & Read/Write mode - boot delay feature, boot from the device ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015DBUOTW | | Additional Features | Encrypted | | Best Sellers Rank | #26,111 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #292 in USB Flash Drives | | Brand | iStorage | | Built-In Media | iStorage datAshur Pro USB 3.0 16GB Encrypted Flash Drive | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Thin Clients, embedded systems | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 364 Reviews | | Flash Memory Type | 3.0 Flash Drive | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060220251144 | | Hardware Connectivity Technology | USB Type A | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hardware interface | USB 3.0 | | Item Weight | 25 Grams | | Manufacturer | iStorage | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 GB | | Memory storage capacity | 16 GB | | Mfr Part Number | IS-FL-DA3-256-16 | | Model Name | datAshur Pro | | Model Number | IS-FL-DA3-256-16 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Read Speed | 169 Megabytes Per Second | | Reading speed | 169 Megabytes Per Second | | Special features | Encrypted | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 Years Warranty | | Write Speed | 135 MB per second | | Writing speed | 135 MB per second | ## Product Details - **Brand:** iStorage - **Hardware interface:** USB 3.0 - **Memory storage capacity:** 16 GB - **Special features:** Encrypted - **Writing speed:** 135 MB per second ## Images ![iStorage datAshur PRO 16 GB Secure Flash Drive FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified - Password Protected, Dust/Water-Resistant.

All data will remain on the datAshur Pro and can only be accessed by the Admin entering the correct Admin PIN. If Admin enters an incorrect Admin PIN 10 (ten) consecutive times, then both the User and Admin PINs, the encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever. The datAshur Pro will then revert back to factory default settings and will need to be formatted before it can be reused. Regards, Dataway Security Team **Q: Can you download directly from an iphone 12 using a lightning to usb adapter?** A: Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting iStorage Support. The datAshur range of drives can be used on an iPhone with a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter from Apple. Most third-party lightning to USB type A adapters will be compatible with the datAshur range. Once the drive is unlocked and connected via the adapter, you can simply use the Files app on your iPhone to access the files stored in the drive. To view the contents of the drive, tap Browse at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the device below Locations. If you have any technical questions, please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team at support@istorage-uk.com or via telephone at +44 (0) 20 8991 6260. **Q: Can you put them pin in before you plug it in?** A: Yes, you can. After entering the pin, the little LED will turn green. You can then plug it in like a regular USB stick. **Q: Will it charge from standard usb 2.0 port? what is the life cycle of the internal battery and how can it be replaced?** A: The standard USB 2.0 port will work with this device. The battery is a Lithium Ion and they typically have a 10+ year lifespan. I haven't attempted to open the device. The potential to damage the unit is high if you don't know exactly how to work on it. I don't recommend you try to disassemble it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had issues - has since worked as needed. *by B***S on 19 July 2022* After experiencing some issues, managed to get resolved, and has been a great purchase.
