Designs, develops and deploys rugged, reliable and secure memory.

AES is an encryption standard with 128 and 256 bits defining the strength of the encryption, with the higher number being more secure. With 256-bit encryption it is almost impossible to break the encryption key. Since the SSD controls the encryption, it can erase the encryption key within milliseconds, effectively preventing any recovery of the user data.

TCG Opal is a standard that defines authentication on a drive that is stronger and more feature rich than the standard 256-bit passwords provided by ATA; combined with 256-bit encryption, the drive is more secure than ever.

FIPS 140-2 is a federal government standard for protecting government secrets requiring specific levels of AES encryption, authentication (such as TCG Opal) tamper protection and electronic emissions control
