Hardware encryption with pre-boot authentication
The drive encrypts data on its dedicated hardware processor. Pre-boot authentication helps keep the operating system and stored files locked until authorised access is provided. This approach avoids relying on software encryption to handle drive-wide protection.
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification and FIPS 197 certification make this drive suited to security-conscious environments. It can support organisations working with government, healthcare, financial or other sensitive data.
NVMe storage for compatible PCs and laptops
The M.2 2280 drive uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface. Its sequential write speed reaches up to 3,000 MB/s, while random performance is rated at up to 700,000 IOPS for 4KB reads and 680,000 IOPS for 4KB writes.
The 3D TLC memory, error-correcting code and end-to-end data protection support reliable everyday storage. Kanguru Opal Commander provides drive management information, including lock status and drive details. Provisioning tools also let administrators configure security policies for users.
Check compatibility before ordering
- Confirm your PC or laptop has an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe.
- Check that the slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 for the stated interface.
- Confirm your system supports M.2 M-key drives.
