help iStorage diskAshur FAQ
How do you unlock an iStorage diskAshur without installing software?
You enter a PIN on the physical keypad before connecting to the protected storage. Because authentication and encryption occur inside the drive, diskAshur models can work without a proprietary unlocking application.
What encryption does the diskAshur use?
Current diskAshur families commonly use AES-XTS 256-bit full-disk hardware encryption. The exact certification and security features differ among diskAshur, diskAshur2, diskAshur PRO, and diskAshur3 models.
What happens if someone repeatedly guesses the diskAshur PIN?
The drive limits unsuccessful PIN attempts and can eventually erase its encryption key, leaving the stored data inaccessible. The precise attempt sequence depends on the generation, so owners should consult the manual before experimenting with a forgotten PIN.
Can a diskAshur be used with Windows, macOS, and Linux?
Yes, the unlocked drive presents itself as ordinary USB storage and does not depend on one desktop operating system. Compatibility still depends on the filesystem chosen, such as exFAT for convenient sharing between Windows and macOS.
