Kanguru Defender SED30 – Hardware encryption for sensitive data

The Kanguru Defender SED30 suits professionals and organisations handling sensitive files. Its 256-bit AES hardware encryption protects data at rest, with pre-boot authentication to help keep the drive locked until authorised access.

Key specs at a glance

Keep encryption processing on the drive

The SED30 handles encryption and decryption in its hardware controller. Sensitive cryptographic keys stay within that controller rather than being exported. This supports protection against data theft without relying on software encryption to process drive activity.

Pre-boot authentication helps keep the operating system and stored data locked until access is authorised. The drive is also TCG Opal-compliant, and Kanguru Opal Commander lets administrators review drive details, lock status and management settings.

Move large files at PCIe 4.0 speeds

With sequential read speeds of up to 7,200 MB/s and writes up to 6,500 MB/s, this 1TB drive is built for fast file access and transfers. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, so your computer needs a compatible M.2 connection to make use of it.

End-to-end data protection and error-correcting code (ECC) add protection for data handled by the drive. Its 3D TLC memory is specified for mixed-use workloads.

Check your device before ordering

• Confirm your PC or laptop has an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe.
• Check your device documentation for support for PCIe 4.0 x4 drives.
• Confirm the M.2 slot uses an M key.
• Check that Kanguru Opal Commander suits your intended drive-management setup.
