- PIN-authenticated hardware encryption with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit protection. The diskAshur2 stores and protects your data on the hardware itself, using AES-XTS 256-bit encryption that’s performed in real time. Your files are encrypted as you write, and decrypted only after you successfully enter your PIN on the built-in keypad. This ensures that even if the drive is lost or stolen, your information remains unreadable without the correct PIN. The hardware-based approach eliminates software vulnerabilities and minimizes the risk of data exposure from malware or compromised computers.
- Software-free, plug-and-play security. No drivers, no special software, and no cloud-based keys. The diskAshur2 is designed for immediate use with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems via USB 3.1.

Real-time encryption runs in the hardware, so read/write speeds stay high while your data remains protected. The SSD architecture also contributes to consistent performance under heavy workloads, with no moving parts to wear out over time. This makes the diskAshur2 ideal for backups, secure file transfers, and working with large media files on the road.
- Dust- and water-resistant, rugged design for real-world use. The diskAshur2 is built to endure challenging environments. Its protective enclosure helps guard against dust and moisture intrusion, making it suitable for fieldwork, travel, and busy office settings. With a robust, tamper-resistant exterior, you get reliable data protection whether you’re in a conference room, in the field, or commuting between sites. The combination of rugged construction and hardware encryption provides a compelling balance of reliability and security where other drives may fall short.
- Secure, portable, cross-platform storage you can trust. The 1 TB capacity meets the needs of today’s data-heavy workflows—from high-resolution photo libraries to large video projects and critical business archives. Because access is PIN-based and encryption is hardware-driven, you can move sensitive data between devices and locations with confidence.

Excellent wrist rest, BUT not for me
I'm rating this wrist rest 5 stars despite the fact that it's not for me. The reason that it is not for me is simple: My palms get very sweaty, and this makes my palms stick to the wrist rest, making it hard to move my hands around. This is an inherent limitation of the fact that it is made out of wood, and drove me to the 17" x 4" x 0.75" foam wrist rest from Grifiti instead.
If you don't have sweaty palms, however, this wrist rest is perfect. It is 4 inches deep instead of the typical 3.1 inches, it is the perfect height and tapered just so for maximum comfort, the wood (Golden Oak color) is beautiful, and the engraved logo is tasteful and non-intrusive.

The perfect wrist rest. Stop looking, just buy this one!
Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest
The perfect wrist rest. I used those gel and silicone wrist rests thinking the softer they are the better. Not so. This is solid hardwood and my wrists no longer ache after a long day at the computer. The size I picked is perfect for a TKL keyboard. The angles, height, and design are optimal for a comfortable typing experience. Even 8-10 hours of typing!
I love Glorious' products, they come so well packaged and attention to every detail is given. Gosh, its just a wrist rest! No, it is a tool that provides comfortable work experience.

The wood is great.
I used to use a typical padded wrist pad, but am a heavy sweater. Upon reading another review in regards to that matter I decided to take the plunge on this rest. I have been a user of the Model O mouse from Glorious for a while and liked it so I trusted the company's reputation for taking gamers' needs into consideration.
After using it for about a week and playing different types of games/working from home on it, I can say that although your sweat might pool during sweaty moments, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to easily absorb into the wood.
The wood itself is of a nice quality, I like the oak over the onyx for a more "real wood" look. There was no difference in comfort for me, you'd think being used to a padded wrist this shift would be "hard" on me, but no, I haven't had any problems. It's ergonomics for typing are also good as I notice my WPM and consistency be higher on multiple tests.
All-in-all quite satisfied with the purchase, fits the aesthetic, feel, and ergonomics I was looking for.

Very well made, matches width of Keychron Q6 perfectly, great for bigger hands!
This is a nicely finished slab of wood that is an EXACT match for my Keychron Q6 in both width and height. Depthwise, this is 4", so if you got larger hands (as I do), this is a bit better than the silicone Keychron version which I believe is 3.5" or so in depth. The non-stick feet are a nice feature, and the profile is wonderful to type on. Only issue with the item I received is a small nick right below the Glorious emblem on the lower right of the wrist rest - may have been an errant tool mark. However, this doesn't detract in my own opinion, from the well-designed profile and features of this wrist rest and was easily covered with a furniture marking pen. I'm still giving this item 5-stars and getting another one for the office!

Glorious Wooden Palm Rest Durability and Stability in an Elegant Design
Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
After years of using foam palm rests, I always encountered the same problem: they deformed over time, losing height, ergonomics and, consequently, their usefulness. This is especially critical when you spend between 3 and 8 hours a day at the PC for work, study or gaming, since a bad posture can increase the risk of suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.
This is where Glorious' wooden palm rests come in, a solution that eliminates deformations and offers an ideal height for both the mouse version and the TKL (Tenkeyless) version.
Positive points
• Solid and durable construction: Unlike foam, wood maintains its shape and provides stable support over time.
• Elegant and minimalist design: Its finish gives a premium touch to any setup.
• Effective non-slip base: The bottom rubbers prevent unwanted movements, providing total stability.
• Easy maintenance: Although wood is slightly porous and can retain natural oils or residue from creams and perfumes, cleaning it is easy.
Areas for improvement
• Less softness than foam: Although still comfortable, wood sacrifices some of the cushioned feel that some prefer. A redesign with a foam strip on top could improve this.
• Inconsistent finish between versions: I bought the mouse rest and the TKL at the same time, but noticed that the color tones were different (one blacker than the other). It doesn't affect functionality, but it does affect aesthetics.
If you're looking for durability, stability, and a sophisticated design, this is a highly recommended palm rest, especially if you find it on sale. Although it's not as soft as the foam ones, it does its job of providing ergonomic support exceptionally well. An excellent complement for those who spend long hours at the PC and are looking for a sturdier alternative to traditional palm rests.
