## Description

Buy

Review: Great device, shame about the standard of the case. - Hard drive itself is exactly as described, works perfectly and the set up instructions are clear and effective in getting you going. In common with other buyers, it has to be said that the case is complete crap and lets down such a premium product. My case effectively broke on the first use with the zip fraying some of the surround and then became caught. Given that this is a £250+ product the company should be ashamed of itself skimping on the quality of the case. I've had headphones which cost half of the price of this item which came with better cases. You may not think that the case is an important feature, but given that you're only buying this product because you have sensitive information you wish to protect it seems to be a major oversight on the products overall design not to include a useful case for it. The company should seriously consider redesigning / resourcing more rugged cases for these products and then doing their customers the service of supplying them with one. ********************************* Excellent customer support from iStorage. Replacement case offered to replace the broken one. Very impressed.
Review: seems to do what it says on the tin - Hi there we are a small business with loads of electronic files so we purchased the 2TB version which I take home every night in case something happens in the office. It is vitally important that we have a secure and reliable backup. Set up was quite easy and was fast to take the data. I then plugged into another computer entered the pin number and saw all the files just like they normally appear. Job done!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you unlock it the first time? I have the 2Tb iStorage hard drive and I lost the box :(**
A: Hi thank you for contacting iStorage. Please plug the drive in to your PC and wait for the RED led to come on. Then please enter the default PIN of 11223344 and press UNLOCK. This should give you access to your diskAshur2.  
Should you need a copy of the manual you can download it from the link below:
(https://istorage-uk.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/diskAshur2-Manual-v3.0.pdf)
Please feel free to contact iStorage support team on +442089916265 or email us at: support@istorage-uk.com, thank you.

**Q: Can you use a different cable to connect to the drive or is the cable pictured 'wired in'?**
A: Cable is wired in.  But you can use a USB Extender cable.
Check if its a USB 3 Extender , because if its a USB2 then it will run but slower.
NB USB 3 have 9 Connections in them and are blue, whereas USB 2.0 are white.

**Q: Hi, is this drive enrolled in Bitlocker ?**
A: Dear Customer,

Thank you for contacting iStorage.

The diskAshur 2 can be entirely encrypted using Bitlocker To Go in Windows in addition to the secure hardware encryption it already possesses. 

Alternatively, the diskAshur 2 can also be used to store the Startup Key and to decrypt the OS drive encrypted by Bitlocker.

Please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team for any further queries. We will be happy to assist.

**Q: What happens if the keypad breaks? Is my information “lost” forever?**
A: I think the keypad is very unlikely to break as the device is very robust. However, my 2TB HDD device has, this week, stopped working.  No lights come on and I cannot access it.  All data is therefore inaccessible.  I would recommend that any data is mirrored on another device which puts the cost of secure storage up as the devices are not cheap.  I am very disappointed and iStorage tell me the failure is extremely rare and visually unheard of. They have offered to repair or replace the device as it is under a year old providing I send the broken unit back which is a fair offer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ seems to do what it says on the tin
*by A***R on 5 February 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid and Reliable. I bought another one
*by I***R on 20 February 2024*

I bought my first one in 2021. After 3 years with no problems and finding it very easy to use, I just bought another. As back up. I'm busy copying data over to it now (see pic). I haven't got the technical expertise to comment on how secure it is and whether its encryption is all it claims to be. I can only go on what I'm reading from the blurb on Amazon. On the other hand, since it needs a password to get into it, it's better than a drive that doesn't require one. And all my data seems to be intact to date.
