Despite some reviews claiming that it was difficult, if not impossible, to change the built-in security code to one user-chosen, I ordered this rather expensive flash drive and I was not disappointed. It really does what it claims to do; the code system is great, I was able to change it to my chosen character-and-numbers code (on my second attempt, it is true, but then I had failed to follow the instructions correctly the first time) and it is working beautifully ever since. I have been using it for almost a month now; it never fails to load, inserting the security code is as simple as in a hotel-room safe, for instance, and it feels really secure. I always carry with me, on a USB pen, an image of my credit cards, personal ID, driver's license and other important documents, in case the originals are lost or stolen, and I used to worry with the possibility of losing that pen and thus exposing my private data to anyone who would find it. This iStorage pen really solved my problem. It is an expensive gadget (and, unfortunately, I did pay for it the full price, therefore my review is not influenced by any offer or discount made by the manufacturer...), but I feel it is worth every penny. Review: Excellent competitor to the Iron Key. - A well constructed and versatile piece of equipment. I found that because it relies on an internal battery to power the buttons to enter the code there may be a need on occasion to insert the USB into the computer for a minute or two just to boost the battery enough. That said, when inserted and using the USB it powers up quickly and battery last a long time. The keys are easy to use and the lights system red/green clear indication that you have entered the correct code. Metal casing is robust and waterproof. Like the idea that it automatically locks when disconnected. Bearing in mind it is a fraction of the price of an equivalent Iron Key I think it is an excellent alternative. Easy to use and reliable. A good buy. ## Features - Perfect solution to protect your digital assets. Simply enter a 7-15 digit PIN to authenticate and use as a normal USB flash drive.

All data will remain on the datAshur Pro and can only be accessed by the Admin entering the correct Admin PIN. If Admin enters an incorrect Admin PIN 10 (ten) consecutive times, then both the User and Admin PINs, the encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever. The datAshur Pro will then revert back to factory default settings and will need to be formatted before it can be reused. Regards, Dataway Security Team **Q: Can you download directly from an iphone 12 using a lightning to usb adapter?** A: Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting iStorage Support. The datAshur range of drives can be used on an iPhone with a Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter from Apple. Most third-party lightning to USB type A adapters will be compatible with the datAshur range. Once the drive is unlocked and connected via the adapter, you can simply use the Files app on your iPhone to access the files stored in the drive. To view the contents of the drive, tap Browse at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the device below Locations. If you have any technical questions, please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated support team at support@istorage-uk.com or via telephone at +44 (0) 20 8991 6260. **Q: Can you put them pin in before you plug it in?** A: Yes, you can. After entering the pin, the little LED will turn green. You can then plug it in like a regular USB stick. **Q: Will it charge from standard usb 2.0 port? what is the life cycle of the internal battery and how can it be replaced?** A: The standard USB 2.0 port will work with this device. The battery is a Lithium Ion and they typically have a 10+ year lifespan. I haven't attempted to open the device. The potential to damage the unit is high if you don't know exactly how to work on it. I don't recommend you try to disassemble it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superb and safe way to carry your precious data *by B***A on 28 December 2016* Brilliant!

The setup is a bit fiddly but once done you don't need to go through it again. Keyboard is tiny but surprisingly useable even ffor my clumsy fingers. One feature I really do like is that you have to input your password before inserting the drive into your PC, totally eliminating the possibility of the keystrokes being captured. As others have said, it certainly can't be classed as "speedy" but then again it is doing on-the-fly encryption to a very high standard so it is only to be expected. All in all, 5 stars from me, superb little device. ## Frequently Bought Together - iStorage datAshur PRO 16 GB | Encrypted USB Memory Stick | FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified | Password protected | Dust/Water Resistant, Blue - Yubico - YubiKey 5C NFC - Two-Factor authentication (2FA) Security Key, Connect via USB-C or NFC, FIDO Certified - Protect Your Online Accounts - Kingston Ironkey Locker+ 50 32GB Encrypted USB Flash Drive | USB 3.2 Gen 1 | XTS-AES Protection | Multi-Password Security Options | Automatic Cloud Backup | Metal Casing | IKLP50/32GB,Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49707113-istorage-datashur-pro-16-gb-encrypted-usb-memory-stick-fips](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49707113-istorage-datashur-pro-16-gb-encrypted-usb-memory-stick-fips) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
