The USB flash drive will be locked automatically when it is disconnected from the host computer or the slot that powers the USB port is switched off.datAshur can be configured with Admin and independent user PINs.
The drive can be easily reset whenever required. Resetting the drive will recover its usage but will destroy all the data that was stored inside it.
Data is protected using a ‘Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism.’ This mechanism will wipe out all stored data and will also delete the encryption key if someone enters the wrong PIN ten times in a row.
Price: 4GB – £39, 8GB - £59, 16GB - £79 on iStorage.

What is the Difference Between Software And Hardware Encryption?
Software Encryption:
- Complex passwords can be cracked easily and quickly with a Brute Force Attack
- Simple password cracking software is readily available on the internet, often free of charge
- Software encryption is vulnerable to key loggers – where every key pressed is logged in either a software or hardware key logger
- Software encryption can be corrupted by viruses
- Software encryption is much slower when compared to hardware encryption
- Software encryption needs to be installed on each computer that the external storage device is used on
- Software encryption shares computers resources to encrypt data with other programs on the computer, making it only as safe as your computer
Hardware Encryption:
- The datAshur cannot be brute force attacked
- The datAshur is not vulnerable to keyloggers as the PIN is entered on the unit rather than the keyboard
- The datAshur does not require any software and can be used on any PC, MAC, Linux, Android or Symbian system
- Encryption is performed in real-time thus there is no speed degradation
- No software or drivers are required
