Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The diskAshur PRO² is the world’s first and only NCSC CPA, FIPS 140-2 Level 2, NLNCSA BSPA & NATO Restricted Level certified hardware encrypted, PIN authenticated HDD.
An easy to use, ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, portable USB 3.2 hard drive with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, software free design, super-fast data transfer speeds.
The diskAshur PRO² has an easy-to-use keypad design enabling you to securely access the drive with your own unique 7-15-digit PIN and with software free setup and operation, the drive is platform/device independent and works across all operating systems including all versions of MS Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and embedded systems. In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port!
One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur PRO² is the dedicated hardware based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur PRO2 reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless.
In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!

Verdict: If you've made it this far through the review, you've either skipped the first 11 pages or you're genuinely interested in what we have to say about the Disk Ashur Pro2 SSD.First off, the build quality, as we found with the HDD model, is rock-solid. It fee...

Pros
  • The utmost security
  • Solid build quality
  • Included USB cable
  • Enclosure looks great

Cons
  • Incredibly costly (the value arrives in the security)

Verdict: So, I think it goes without saying that the benchmark results, while present, can pretty much be ignored. This drive hasn't been designed with speed in mind, in fact, it was probably so far down their list of priorities that it doesn't even make the first...

Pros
  • Excellent build quality
  • Thorough and extensive encryption and data security
  • Easy to use
  • Included USB cable
  • Wide range of capacities available
  • Neutral, - SSD model is probably more suitable
Cons
  • Costly as a drive (the value is on your data)

8/10

Verdict: If you want absolute security for your portable data, the iStorage DiskAshur Pro2 is a fantastic product with decent performance. If the high price is putting you off, a regular external hard disk and software encryption isn't quite as secure, but a go...

Pros
  • Supersecure
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Captive USB cable is a damage risk
  • Speeds lag behind SSDs
