Full review at [ Ссылка ]. The iStorage datAshur Secure Flash Drive is a conventional type flash drive with a twist. It comes with a full blown data encryption and PIN security system on board, which makes sure that even if someone gets hold of your drive, they won't be able to access the information stored on it. Unless it's the CIA of course.
The drive comes with a decent enough user guide, which is a good thing because you need to pay attention to ensure you use the thing properly. There's a particular order in which you have to enter and/or set up your PIN code, in order to access the data properly. But once you get the hang of it, it's pretty cool how effortless it is to keep your data secure. Just add the data from your computer, take the drive out and it automatically locks. When you want to access it, enter the PIN number and within 30 seconds insert the drive into the computer and it's available for free access. That's it.
All the encryption is done on the fly with no user intervention needed, which is cool. Just set and forget, which is how this sort of tool should be. The only thing is the keypad can be kind of fiddly to use, which is made even trickier when you have one eye on the blinking LED lights counting down till the thing locks up on you again. But again, it's a relatively small thing and with some practice we're sure it gets easier.
Conclusion
This is a product which has a specific job to do and it does it well. The bonus is that the thing is actually built like a battleship, so you're also going to be quite comfortable with dropping it, or doing other nasty accidental damage, because it looks like it will take a lot of punishment. It's not cheap, but then again security is never a cheap commodity, so we're not surprised.
Price: $135.90 / £80.00 for the 16 GB version.
