The combination of USB 3.0 speed, high-capacity storage and FIPS PUB 197 validated security makes this the ultimate fast, ultra-secure and spacious desktop storage unit.

The diskAshur DT 6TB is a military-grade secure desktop hard drive with real-time 256-bit AES hardware encryption. FIPS PUB 197 validated, and seamlessly encrypting all data on the drive in real-time using 100% hardware encryption, the device keeps data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

"New and increasingly complex data legislation across the world requires storage devices to be secured to a rigorous standard and resistant to any form of interference or tampering. Now, the demands of big data, information of extreme size, diversity and complexity, result in the need for storage devices that can store data securely in volume," commented John Michael, CEO at iStorage.

"Furthermore, mounting concerns surrounding the vulnerability of data stored in the cloud is heralding demand for highly secure, capacity hard disk storage devices, especially for storing sensitive information such as medical records or company archives. The diskAshur DT 6TB provides the perfect solution," he concluded.

Considered a benchmark in US government data security, FIPS 197 is a critical and globally recognised metric that demonstrates a technology device has passed a stringent set of rigorous testing procedures and meets the highest standard set for encryption algorithms and data protection. The standard examines areas of a cryptographic module used by a device's security system, including physical security and cryptographic key management.

With software, free set-up and operation, the diskAshur DT truly becomes platform independent and works across all operating systems, including thin clients and embedded systems such as medical equipment. The diskAshur DT enables the user to access the drive by simply entering a unique six- to 16-digit PIN.

The diskAshur DT is also available in 1TB, 2TB, 3TB and 4TB capacities.

The diskAshur DT 6TB is priced at R9 995 excluding vat.
