Review: Worth it if you need the increased security - Very nice, very beefy, very well made. It's not small, so if size is a huge issue, that might be an issue. Granted, it's not enormous (that's what she said), but neither is it tiny (in comparison with other USB drives of similar capacity). It is fairly easy to use, not that complicated, but the PIN is required before you can access the files. If you plug it into your USB port without entering the PIN, nothing happens. Your computer won't even detect that the drive is there. Once the PIN is entered, it works like any other USB drive. File transfer was fast and easy; lightning fast. The price was higher than other USB drives of similar capacity, but if the security is needed, the price really balances itself out. This thing is HACK PROOF. Unless someone has a supercomputer and a team of expert data recovery specialists, they are not getting into this thing without the PIN. The self-destruct feature may not be needed, but it's nice to know you can wipe the drive to avoid your data getting compromised. In short, if you only need a USB for routine use (school, family photos, etc), this might be overkill. If you need security, this thing is your Huckleberry! Update: add to description "will survive washer and dryer". After letting it dry out for a few days, it works fine. Not that I'd recommend doing this repeatedly or on purpose, but this thing is tough! Bloody brilliant!
Review: Security and Convenience at a reasonable price - After researching several options for secure, encrypted, and tamperproof USB storage I ended up going with the iStorage datAshur Pro 2 secure USB flash drive. I have owned an IronKey 16GB Drive for 8 years or so and absolutely love it, BUT the cost for a 128GB IronKey Drive was nearly 5X the cost of this drive. I've read reviews on this product and had initial concerns about the keyboard, complexity of set-up, and the outer dust cover. Take the 5 minutes to read and follow the instructions and the set-up is absolutely straight-forward (dare I suggest easy). The keyboard is small, but very tactile and has distinct feedback when each button is pushed. The outer case seems fine to me, but I won't be attaching to a keyring for everyday carry. As suggested when reading the capabilities of this device, it is a very secure USB storage device, but it does not offer an online encrypted back-up should the device be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The IronKey does offer online encrypted backup, but at a very steep price differential. In fact, you could buy several of the DatAshur devices (conceivably for backups) for the cost on one IronKey. Clearly not as convenient as an encrypted online option, but for most people I think is a great solution. As a data conscious and technology-astute user, I highly recommend the datAshur PRO2 - Secure Encrypted Flash Drive

### ⭐ Loss data
*by Y***Y on April 3, 2020*

Dear customers! Be careful with this USB drive. It worked for me for 1 week. And it's not that it broke, he destroyed all my sensitive data. The user manual says that the disk destroys the data after entering 10 times the wrong administrative password in a row. Keyword “in a row”. This is not true. There are 3 counters built into the disk: 10 times for the administrative password, 10 times for the user password and 1 time for the recovery password. That is, if, for example, during the course of a year or two years, you accidentally entered the wrong administrative password 10 times, then the disk erases all data without warning, you won’t even know that something went wrong and that the number of attempts ends. The counter runs cumulatively and is not reset without loss data. When you see this disk for the first time, start using it, learn to manage it, it is absolutely natural that you or your user can make mistakes. But this leads to fatal consequences. Technical support cannot help, they do not have a secret recovery code, even a one-time one. Even if you are registered with them on the web-site as a disk administrator. One could envision the generation of a one-time code depending on the serial number and other administrator data. I also note that button presses and firmware work are very unstable. For example, in one session, you enter the password and the disk does not open (you count 1 unsuccessful attempt by the counter) for an unknown reason, the next time you enter the same password, the disk opens correctly, but the counter of failed attempts increases by 1 and does not reset. I don’t understand why this disk is needed at all. Decide for yourself, I’m out of luck.
