Although overkill for average users, diskAshur Pro2 offers portable storage with durability and maximum security, provided you're willing to pay for it and have the Mac software to allow read/write access.To comment on this article and other Macwo...
It's expensive, but if you want absolute security for your portable data, the iStorage DiskAshur Pro2 is a fantastic product with decent performance for the HDD models – or better performance with an SSD version.OverallSpecsFrom $419 AUD (for 500GB)(prici...
Abstract: Portable USB drives—the kind based on 2.5″ hard disk that you can slip in your pocket—have always been a huge convenience if you use more than one computer in different locations. But they've often struck me as problematic in several ways.It's understanda...

Rock solid design, Cutting edge security hardware and integrated software, Real world test speeds close to claims
Very expensive
There is no getting away from the fact that the diskAshur PRO2 is expensive. The 2TB version we have here has an RRP of £329, but can be bought at the time of writing at the slightly lower price of £300 at Amazon UK.If we put the price aside for a moment...
The utmost security, Solid build quality, Included USB cable, Enclosure looks great, Easy to use with comprehensive instructions, Much faster than the HDD model
Incredibly costly (the value arrives in the security)
If you've made it this far through the review, you've either skipped the first 11 pages or you're genuinely interested in what we have to say about the Disk Ashur Pro2 SSD.First off, the build quality, as we found with the HDD model, is rock-solid. It fee...
Excellent build quality, Thorough and extensive encryption and data security, Easy to use, Included USB cable, Wide range of capacities available, Neutral, - SSD model is probably more suitable

Supersecure
Expensive, Captive USB cable is a damage risk, Speeds lag behind SSDs
If you want absolute security for your portable data, the iStorage DiskAshur Pro2 is a fantastic product with decent performance. If the high price is putting you off, a regular external hard disk and software encryption isn't quite as secure, but a go...
Abstract: We're still waiting for some truly great external hard drive Black Friday deals to surface (it's only a matter of time), but this Western Digital My Passport is a pretty good one to get started with. Delivering a 4TB of storage in a tiny footprint and wei...

Beautiful construction, Works with any OS, Genuinely secure
Expensive
If it wasn't for the eye-watering cost, we'd be recommending the iStorage diskAshur Pro2 more forcefully. The combination of a well-considered security model with a superbly engineered device is an alluring one.How well it works in any company context wil...
Abstract: Rectangular in shape with rounded corners, the diskAshur PRO 2 has a weight of 237g and dimensions of 124 x 84 x 20 mm (H x W x D). Due to its size and weight, this drive is easily transported either in a pocket or using the supplied rigid case with a lan...
