iStorage is back at it with another novel portable encrypted storage solution. The all-new datAshur SD is the world's first USB flash drive with both onboard hardware encryption and removable microSD card storage, which increases flexibility when scaling since sharing security settings between drives is easily done via software.

Nope, because it's the memory card that has the encryption on the firmware. The card readers/drives are just the hardware keys.

I realize this is probably supposed to be read as "data sure", but I can't help but interpret it as "dat Ashur".
