iStorage has launched the diskAshur M2. The diskAshur M2 is iStorage’s smallest, lightest, fastest and most rugged FIPS compliant encrypted portable SSD and includes connectivity for both USB type A and C ports.
The new diskAshur M2 SSD encrypts data using FIPS PUB 197 validated, AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption and uniquely incorporates a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor, which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass physical attacks and more.
The drive features ultra-fast backwards compatible USB 3.2 data transfer speeds and is available in capacities ranging from 120GB to 2TB. The diskAshur M2 is lightweight, dust and waterproof (IP68 certified), shock proof (survives a drop of 4m on to a concrete surface) and crush-proof (withstands the weight of a 2.7 ton vehicle), making it extremely rugged and ultra-portable.
Advanced security meets portability
As the number of remote workers continuously rises, ensuring data protection can prove challenging. Organisations have the added pressure of maintaining business continuity whilst adhering to data protection regulations.
Strain is added for those dealing with highly sensitive information shared within a large organisation or with third parties. Undoubtedly, this situation has brought to light the importance of securely storing sensitive data.
The FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant diskAshur M2 security features help protect data against data loss and theft and provides a secure, offline back-up of your data that you can access and quickly restore in the event of a ransomware attack.
In a corporate setting, this will provide a ripple effect of benefits including compliance with data security and confidentiality laws, such as GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA and others, gaining customer trust, maintaining business continuity and encouraging data security best practices across the organisation.
Being lightweight and smaller than the size of a phone, the diskAshur M2 offers users the ability to carry the drive with them wherever they go without the risk of losing data should the drive be lost or stolen.
The diskAshur M2 is shock, vibration and crush resistant, protecting data in case the drive is dropped or even run over by a heavy vehicle. It is protected by a hard-anodised and ruggedised aluminium sleeve and supplied with a protective carry case, ideal for carrying the drive and cables (USB Type A & C Cables included).
Key features include:
- Easy to use PIN authenticated (7-15 digits)
- USB Type A & C cables and carry case included
- FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliant, tamper proof and evident design

The diskAshur M2 drive is the perfect solution for those wanting to securely protect or back up their confidential data.
