  • Apple OSX must go into utilities to get that istorage icon to appear (diskashur2) 2TB
Capacity: 2TB Color: Fiery Red
1. Connect istorage diskAshur into a USB port; 2. wait until the light dance finishes until solide red light is the only light on the istorage device (after the device performs a brief, automatic, self-diagnostic); 3. on the istorage keypad push the factory admin PIN 11 22 33 44 4. hit the unlock button, 5. Green unlocked light appears solid you can now use the drive like any standard flash drive BUT If nothing is shown on the desktop of your computer. The, istorage light must be SOLID green for the Apple device to recognize it. Enter its PIN, push the unlock button. Your goal is to HAVE only the SOLID green unlocked light to appear. When it appears and stays illuminated SOLID green look back at your Apple device, DON'T PANIC and go grab something to eat. When you return to your Apple device Click anywhere on your AppleOSX desktop Clicking on the desktop sometimes wakes-up the icon. If no istorage device Orange icon appears then it's time to open utilities folder to open your Disk Utility [look up left where the apple device shows words along top-of-screen Finder___file___View.___Go Within that realm click Go-->utilities-->disk utility within the disk utility a pop-up window "Loading Disks" indicates its loading your storage sectors istorage's device disk2s will be listed as a separate device away from your device hard drive, where = on the left side of that disk utility pop-up window..... below the word External click on disk2s2... BE CAREFUL to only click on the disk2s2 listed under EXTERNAL [within that disk utility pop-up-window] your next step will be to look at your desktop for that orange icon with its name disk2s2. If you can click on that orange icon open its pdf file for formatting directions... .otherwise, if no icon is on the desktop, start eating those snacks. You will need to find that disk utility pop-up window to click on disk2s2 and to click erase (to activate/format the istorage device) if and only if under External disk2s2 is highlighted within the disk utility pop-up. Within that disk utility window find the drop-down menu that appears after erase is clicked choose MasOSJournaled. If that orange icon hasn't appeared on your desktop. ..it will eventually appear... Search online for the user manual for your device. Go find something to hug, you'll need it....You're almost finished... Sidebar: I threw in a read/write command by pressing 7 and 9 simultaneously after its first erase......actually.... I factory reset it after the first erase(formatting) and then I pressed 7-9 to open up its read write capability, why??? because the orange icon failed to appear after the first time the istorage device was erased(formatted). I was determined to get it to work. Finally I got it to work through disk utility after it refused to re-appear as its orange desktop icon. I finally found its factory name disk2s2 faintly listed under external within that disk utility pop-up window that's when I erased/formatted it again (attempt #2) . FFS, that took all day..... Worth the effort. I hope this helps someone. EDIT: If you're needing tech support you might run into difficulties if you're in the U.S., istorage support is good, but in the U.K. which presents some time-zoned based problems. I am still recommending DISK-ASHUR2 as a reliable back-up, just know if you need any tech support (after Amazon's 6-month-window) ...istorage might not be consistently available. ... show more

  • Patch required kills your WIndows 10 PCs
Capacity: 2TB Color: Ocean Blue
In order for this item to stay connected, you must install a patch to your system. The patch is required to enable the disk to remain connected as without the patch the drive disconnects in about a minute... requiring you to re-enter the decryption PIN to reconnect. Every minute disconnect is not acceptable. The patch fully killed my system which was 7 years old and fully up-to-date with MS patches. Since I had already order a replacement PC, I installed the patch to the NEW PC. It continually BLUE SCREENs my system. Since I have broken the seal and have personal data on the drive, I cannot trust to return it... even though I have until 7/24/2021 to return. DO NOT BUY if you are running Windows 10. ... show more

  • Early days, but so far, so good. Stays connected so overnight backups work. Decent $.
Capacity: 2TB Color: Fiery Red
Good price, and, lo! It actually does not disconnect after short periods. (I'm glaring at you, Netac.) The fact that it stays connected means my backups actually work. Yay. Plus...Colors! Normally I wouldn't review after such a short period, but if I save one person buying a Netac or Apricorn drive, I will be happy. Will report later if any problems crop up. ... show more

  • Outstanding Product!!!
Capacity: 500GB Color: Phantom Black
I bought the iStorage diskAshur2 and it was well worth my money. Most portable hard drives, as opposed to flash drives, do not come with the same kind of protection. To begin with, it is hardware encrypted, using real-time military grade AES 256-bit XTS full-disk hardware encryption validated to FIPS PUB 197, so there is no software to worry about or drivers to set up. This also means that the diskAshur2 is platform and device agnostic, so it works as well in Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome or Android. diskashur2 also includes thin clients, zero clients, and any clients that have a USB port. This drive also has a Common Criteria EAL4, and a ready on-board secure microprocessor; FIPS 140-2 Level 3, foundation level NCSC CPA, and NLNCSA certifications are all pending. Of course, it is also fully IP 56 certified for water and dust protection. Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption (EDGE) technology kicks in with a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor. The microprocessor also comes with built-in physical protection mechanisms to defend against external tampering, can withstand ‘laser attacks’, and fault injection methods. External attacks are completely useless; the internal components are encased in a layer of epoxy resin so tough that breaking the hard drive is impossible without breaking the internal components. Any attempt to break into the device kicks off the deadlock frozen state. All the authentication parameters are encrypted and physically protected by the microprocessors’ memory encryption (scrambler) and access control schemes. Another great bonus was the two product gifts: A Nero BackItUP, and ESET Drive Security. I am overall, very satisfied with this hard drive, and I would not hesitate to purchase any other product from this seller. ... show more
