USB-flashdrive iStorage 8GB USB Type-A IS-FL-DA3-256-8

The iStorage datAshur PRO 8GB USB Type-A encrypted flash drive provides hardware-based AES-XTS 256-bit encryption with an integrated keypad for PIN entry. It requires no software or drivers and works across Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, thin clients and embedded systems. The device features an extruded aluminium sleeve rated IP57 for dust and water resistance, crush resistance for physical protection, and a built-in rechargeable battery enabling offline PIN entry before connecting to a USB port. Read and write operations are encrypted in real time to protect data if the drive is lost or stolen.

Advantages

Hardware AES-XTS 256-bit encryption secures data without relying on host software. The on-board keypad allows a 7–15 digit PIN and provides brute force protection, auto-lock and timeout lock for added security. The rugged aluminium housing with IP57 rating and crush resistance increases physical durability while the drive’s plug-and-play operation eliminates the need to install drivers. Compact 8GB capacity and USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A) interface deliver fast file transfers with straightforward drag-and-drop use.

Suitable for

• Transporting personal or business files that require hardware encryption
• Use with multiple operating systems without installing software
• Field work where dust, moisture or impact resistance is needed
• Environments requiring offline PIN entry before host connection

How to use

Enter your chosen 7–15 digit PIN on the on-board keypad before connecting the flash drive to the host device. Once unlocked, connect the datAshur PRO to a USB Type-A port; the drive appears as a standard removable storage device and supports drag-and-drop file transfer. When finished, remove the drive and it will auto-lock after timeout or can be locked manually. No software installation is required for normal operation across supported operating systems.

Recommendations

Choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard to guess, and keep the device physically protected. Regularly back up important data to a separate secure location to avoid data loss if the drive is damaged or becomes inaccessible.
