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.

A good buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful tool in an uncertain world *by G***D on 14 March 2021* Encryption has sadly become a daily necessity. Putting all my personal information into some app has never appealed; is it really secure, what happens if the vendor disappears, etc. While I cannot confirm the security of the encryption on this device, it appears to meet high standards, enough to deter the average thief anyway. I like the portability, the device independence, the build quality. Pricey though but what value is your information? Main concerns are the built in battery - what happens if it goes completely flat - and the robustness of the buttons if used frequently. So, as always, have a backup... ## Frequently Bought Together - iStorage datAshur PRO 8 GB | Encrypted USB Memory Stick | FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified | Password protected | Dust/Water Resistant - Apple AirTag 4 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/54013928-istorage-datashur-pro-8-gb-encrypted-usb-memory-stick-fips](https://www.desertcart.no/products/54013928-istorage-datashur-pro-8-gb-encrypted-usb-memory-stick-fips) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
