Available capacities: 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.
collaborate securely
unrivalled security
The datAshur SD encrypts your data using FIPS PUB 197 validated, AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption and incorporates a Common Criteria EAL 5+ (Hardware Certified) secure microprocessor, which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass physical attacks and more.
All components incorporated within the datAshur SD encrypted flash drive are completely covered by a layer of super tough epoxy resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. The drive is also designed to be tamper-evident making it obvious to the User if it has been pried open and tampered with.
rugged and easy to use
Insert your microSD Card into the datAshur SD microSD Card slot and simply enter your 8-64 digit PIN to authenticate and use as a normal flash drive. When the drive is locked, all data on the iStorage encrypted microSD card is now fully encrypted (full disk encryption) using AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption (no software required).
The onboard keypad is covered with a layer of polymer coating that protects the keys and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys.
The DatAshur SD has IP68 accreditation meaning it will survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes and deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand.Â
tiny, mighty, lightning fast
Coming in at a tiny weight of 26g without the sleeve fitted and 35g with sleeve fitted, the DatAshur SD encrypted flash drive is ultra portable.
Transfer your files in seconds with lightning fast backwards compatible USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer speeds. With a blistering fast 100MB/s read speed and 95MB/s write speed, say goodbye to slow and annoying data storage forever.
easy administration
An admin configurable one-time User recovery PIN enables you to unlock the device and set a new User PIN in the event that you forgot the PIN.
The DatAshur SD encrypted flash drive has Read only mode (write protect). Both the Admin and User can configure the DatAshur SD as a read only (write protect) drive. If configured by the Admin, the drive cannot be modified or disabled by the User, allowing the Admin to pre-provision a drive with pre-loaded content as read-only for the User.
The DatAshur SD is a bootable drive, allowing you to install an OS on the datAshur SD and boot directly from it. It is also Operating System & Host independent, making it plug and play. No software required; the drive will work on any device with a USB port.

Product Overview
The datAshur SD is the world’s first and only PIN authenticated hardware encrypted USB flash drive to incorporate removable microSD Cards.
Rather than the classic USB flash-drive design of incorporating fixed memory, the brand new datAshur SD is uniquely designed with an integrated microSD Card slot which enables consumers to use one drive with as many iStorage microSD Cards, in varying capacities, as required, ultimately offering a unique, ultra-secure and cost-effective data storage solution to securely share and scale unlimited encrypted data.
Alongside the datAshur SD is the patented iStorage datAshur SD KeyWriter application which allows users to clone as many drives as required with the same encrypted encryption key, thereby enabling secondary drives to be cloned as backups, and enables organisations to share encrypted iStorage microSD Cards with as many authorised users of cloned datAshur SD drives as required, without compromising on data security.
For the ultimate in data security, users can keep their iStorage microSD Cards stored in a different location to the datAshur SD drive, as this will render any attempt to hack your data as virtually impossible, as access will be needed to both the datAshur SD which stores the encrypted encryption key, and the iStorage microSD Card which stores the encrypted data.
All data stored on the datAshur SD is encrypted to the highest standards that iStorage are renowned for. The iStorage datAshur SD encrypts all data using a FIPS PUB 197 AES 256-bit validated encryption algorithm and is secured to military standards. In addition, the datAshur SD drive is the first and only USB flash drive alongside the iStorage datAshur PRO2 to incorporate a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified secure microprocessor, and has a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant, tamper proof and evident design.
The datAshur SD is IP68 certified with a protective sleeve and housing made of ruggedised extruded aluminium, meaning the drive is deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt, sand and will survive being submerged in 1.5m of water for 30 minutes, and can withstand the weight of a 2.7-ton vehicle.
Commenting on the launch of the datAshur SD, iStorage CEO, John Michael, notes “As we have seen, there has been an exponential rise of cyber-attacks over the past two years which has been exacerbated by the way in which data is shared within the workplace. We are therefore delighted to provide an easy to use, scalable and economically viable solution to the market which not only offers customers the opportunity to securely encrypt an unlimited amount of data, but also provides organisations the opportunity to securely collaborate and share data without compromising data security”.

As with all this brand… outstanding, The service from SecureDrive was excellent.. We have been dealing with these guys for more than 8 years.
Peter Francisco (verified owner) –
Having to enter code twice because number 8 button even when pushed firmly does not give you that click engagement feeling like the others, so when entering the code i’m unsure if it read properly. l can change code but knowing number 8 isn’t working properly is a bit of a pain.

Early days, initial usage shows potential for this device.
Jason Harzog –
amazing new encrypted USB! just received mine for our business and having one datashur SD encrypted flash drive able to share many microSD cards is simply a game changer for our business. less cost and more security (we store the microSD cards in a physically different location for added security).
