    • Our take on the iStorage Diskashur Pro2 SSD 4TB USB 3.1

    The Diskashur Pro2 is an external SSD with a built-in keypad that unlocks the drive with a PIN, so the encryption lives in the hardware rather than in software on your computer. The 4TB model is USB 3.2 Gen 2 over USB-A and is rated around 294 MB/s read and 319 MB/s write, which is well below what mainstream portable SSDs reach. It suits people who carry sensitive data and need it locked when the drive is unplugged, not shoppers chasing the fastest transfer speeds. Against rivals it trades speed for on-device security and a rugged, pocketable metal body.

    Best forCarrying confidential work files between officesCompliance-driven backups of client or patient dataField and travel use where the drive may be lost or stolenUsers who want PIN access without installing encryption software
    Pros
    • Hardware PIN keypad unlocks the drive itself, independent of the host computer
    • AES-XTS encryption built in, no software install needed
    • 4TB capacity in a body about 4.9 by 3.3 inches and 6.3 oz
    • USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with USB-A connection
    • Aluminium shell protects the drive in a bag
    Cons
    • Sequential speeds around 294 MB/s read and 319 MB/s write trail mainstream portable SSDs
    • PIN entry adds a step every time you connect it
    • No USB-C cable or port, so newer laptops need an adapter
    • Forgotten PIN means a factory reset and lost data
    • Costs more than a plain SSD of the same capacity

    What reviewers say

    Owners of the Diskashur line generally value the keypad security and solid build, while noting the drive is slower than ordinary portable SSDs. Complaints centre on the PIN workflow and the price premium over unencrypted drives.

    What people mention
    • SecurityPraisedOwners like that the PIN and encryption live in the drive, so data stays locked when it is unplugged.
    • BuildPraisedThe aluminium body feels solid and survives being carried around.
    • SpeedCriticisedReviewers find read and write speeds well below mainstream portable SSDs.
    • PIN useMixedThe keypad is reassuring but slow to use every time the drive is connected.
    • ValueCriticisedBuyers say you pay a clear premium over an unencrypted SSD of the same size.

    Questions and answers

    Does it work without installing software?
    Yes. You enter a PIN on the keypad and the drive mounts as a normal USB drive. No encryption software is needed on the computer.
    What happens if I forget the PIN?
    There is no recovery. The drive has to be reset, which wipes the data, so keep the PIN and recovery key somewhere safe.
    Is it fast enough for video editing?
    Not for large 4K projects. Its rated speeds of about 294 MB/s read and 319 MB/s write suit documents, photos and backups, not high-bitrate editing.
    Does it need a USB-C adapter?
    It connects over USB-A. Laptops with only USB-C ports need an adapter or hub.
    Can I use it on both Windows and Mac?
    Yes. It works as a standard external drive on either system once unlocked, though it may need reformatting to move between them.
    How big and heavy is it?
    About 4.9 by 3.3 by 0.8 inches and 6.3 oz, so it fits in a jacket pocket or laptop bag.
    Where is the iStorage Diskashur Pro2 SSD 4TB USB 3.1 cheapest?
    At Newegg, for $2,499.95, as of our latest check.
