To do this, we need to understand what operating system you are using and your network environment. If you cannot read only video files, then the problem is not in the disk, but in the operating system and video players. **Q: Smb2 supported? macos?** A: Works with any Operating System, including macOS. Once the drive is authenticated, you can treat it like any standard non-encrypted USB hard drive. When the device is disconnected, all data is encrypted (full disk encryption). **Q: I cannot get this drive to work with a macbook air. i can use finder to see it, but it will not mount for use. what am i doing wrong?** A: Hi James, Thank you for your query. Our range of PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted external HDDs/SSDs & flash drives are 100% platform and OS-independent. That means they will work on any OS or USB device.

Does it work for iPhone?** A: Dear Marcus, Thank you for your question. Our diskAshur range of drives will not be visible on iPhone as the lightning port does not provide adequate power for the drive to operate. The diskAshur drives work on iPad Pro with a USB C connector. If you are looking for an encrypted storage device that would work on iPhone, our datAshur range will work on iPhone 8 and above without any issues using a lightning Male to USB Female adapter. That includes datAshur, datAshur Pro, datAshur Pro2, datAshur Personal2 & datAshur BT.
