Kanguru Defender SED30 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, PCIe 4.0 x4, 7200MB/s Read, 6500MB/s Write, AES 256-bit Hardware Encryption

Kanguru Defender SED30 – fast, hardware-encrypted storage

The Kanguru Defender SED30 suits professionals and organisations that need fast storage with protection for data at rest. Its AES 256-bit hardware encryption keeps cryptographic keys inside the drive’s controller rather than exporting them.

Key specifications at a glance

Hardware encryption for sensitive files

The SED30 encrypts the full drive using AES 256-bit hardware encryption. Pre-boot authentication helps keep the operating system and stored files locked until access is authorised. Because encryption runs through the drive’s hardware controller, it avoids relying on software encryption for this task.

The drive supports FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 197 security algorithms and is TCG Opal-compliant. Kanguru Opal Commander provides drive details, lock status and management tools. Administrators can also use Kanguru provisioning tools to configure security policies for users.

PCIe 4.0 speed for demanding work

With sequential read speeds up to 7,200MB/s and writes up to 6,500MB/s, this NVMe SSD is suited to fast file access and transfers. It also supports up to 1,000,000 random read and write IOPS at 4KB, which can help with workloads involving frequent small data operations.

Its 2TB capacity provides room for operating systems, applications and work files. End-to-end data protection and error-correcting code (ECC) add further data integrity features.

Check your system before ordering

• Confirm your PC or laptop has an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe over PCIe.
• Check that the slot supports PCIe 4.0 x4 to make use of the drive’s interface.
• Confirm your system can accommodate the 22 × 80mm M.2 form factor.
• Check that your organisation’s security setup supports your intended Opal Commander or provisioning workflow.
