ADATA UE800
Score: 87/100Rankings
The iStorage datAshur PRO 128 GB is a hardware-encrypted USB flash drive offering FIPS-Level 3 security and a rugged aluminum chassis with IP68 protection. Its built-in keypad and rechargeable battery add bulk and require periodic charging. Ideal for regulated-industry professionals needing high security and durability.
The ADATA UE800 delivers up to 2 TB of storage via a USB-C metal drive with blazing 1,000 MB/s transfer speeds and a rugged, shock-proof design. Its higher weight and lack of disclosed encryption make it less ideal for ultra-light or security-focused scenarios. Best for creators and professionals demanding high-speed, high-capacity portable storage.

Industry retailers and datasheets position the datAshur PRO as a high-security, rugged solution for regulated environments, stressing its FIPS-level encryption, durability certifications, and fast USB 3.2 performance, while noting the lack of independent editorial reviews.
No professional reviews or editor commentary were found in the search results; the only mention is a YouTube unboxing that calls the UE800 a potential “fastest external SSD” candidate but provides no detailed analysis.
Consumer feedback is absent from the available sources; retailer listings show zero ratings and no written reviews, so no common praise or complaints can be identified.
