How to use

Connect the diskAshur PRO2 to any device with a USB port using the supplied cable. Power is supplied through the USB connection, so no external power or software installation is required. Use the onboard keypad to set and enter a unique 7–15 digit PIN; without the correct PIN the drive remains locked. After successful authentication the drive mounts as a standard external HDD and can be used for file transfer, backup or storage like any other USB mass storage device.

Recommendations

Set a unique PIN between 7 and 15 digits and store it separately from the drive. Regularly back up important encrypted data to an additional secure location. Keep firmware updated where applicable and follow organisational policies for handling certified encrypted media to maintain compliance.
