Key specifications at a glance

Encryption designed for sensitive data

The drive encrypts data in hardware across its full capacity. Pre-boot authentication helps keep the operating system and stored files locked until an authorised user gains access.

FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification and FIPS 197 support security-focused deployments. The drive is also TAA compliant, which can make it suitable for purchases with Trade Agreements Act requirements.

Manage access and deployment

Kanguru Opal Commander provides drive and lock-status information, along with management functions. The dedicated hardware encryption processor handles encryption on the drive.

For larger deployments, Kanguru provisioning tools let administrators configure security policies for users. The drive also has secure firmware with a digital signature and a tamper-resistant epoxy coating around its cryptographic controller and flash storage.

SATA performance for everyday workloads

With sequential read speeds up to 550MB/s and write speeds up to 520MB/s, the 1TB SSD is suited to mixed-use workloads. It uses 3D TLC memory and supports end-to-end data protection and error-correcting code (ECC).
