iStorage Unveils the World’s First 26TB PIN Authenticated, Hardware Encrypted Desktop Drive

iStorage launches world’s first 26TB PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted desktop drive, setting a new standard in secure data storage.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The groundbreaking diskAshur DT3 and diskAshur DT2, already trusted by governments, defence organisations, financial institutions, healthcare providers and media agencies around the world, are now available in an industry-leading 26TB capacity. These high-capac- ity drives continue to set the benchmark for robust, portable and user-friendly data protection.

Raising the Bar in Government-Grade Security
The diskAshur DT3 is among the first encrypted HDDs pending certification under the new FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standard, the latest U.S. government benchmark for cryptographic security. It features TAA compliance, FIPS PUB 197-validated AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, and a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified secure microprocessor, ensuring maximum defence against unauthorised access.

Its predecessor, the diskAshur DT2, also boasts top-tier credentials with a Common Criteria EAL5+ certified microprocessor and accreditations from NCSC CPA, FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NLNCSA BSPA and NATO Restricted.

Launching the world’s first 26TB PIN-authenticated, hardware encrypted desktop drive is not just a milestone for us, it’s a statement to the industry.
