The diskAshur PRO2 has been designed to be easy to use. The drive is compatible with all operating systems and can be set up and operated without any sort of software. Everything is done using the keypad and the LED indicators on the top of the device.
When you plug the diskAshur PRO2 in, it undergoes a rapid self-test to verify all security components are working properly. The LEDs will go through 3 test stages, blinking in sequence red, green and blue, followed by two green blinks and then to red (Standby State) on a successful test.
The diskAshur PRO2 can be unlocked with either an Admin PIN or, if you have one set, an independent User PIN. Once unlocked, the green LED will remain on and in a solid state. The drive will automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time. Otherwise, it can be locked down immediately by pressing the ‘LOCK’ button.
The diskAshur PRO2 can also be put into "Admin Mode." From here, you can change the Admin PIN, add a new User PIN, set the minimum PIN length, enable read-only mode, change the auto-lock clock and even set a self-destruct PIN. When used, the self-destruct feature deletes all data, as well as any Admin/User PINs, and then unlocks the drive. The diskAshur PRO2 will then need to be partitioned and formatted before any new data can be added to the drive.
To keep people from guessing your PIN, the diskAshur PRO2 utilizes a brute force hack defense mechanism. If an incorrect PIN is entered 15 (3 x 5 PIN clusters) consecutive times, then all Admin/User PINs, the encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever. The diskAshur PRO2 will then need to be formatted and partitioned before it can be reused.
