SanDisk has unveiled its first self-encrypting solid state drive (SSD) designed for the enterprise market. The 2.5-inch 7mm SanDisk X300s SSD comes in capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. A slimmer M.2 2280 single-sided form factor comes in capacities up to 512GB. The SSD employs TCG Opal 2.0 and Microsoft Encrypted Hard Drive technology, and is compliant with the IEEE 1667 security specification. The built-in self-encryption uses the AES 256-bit FIPS 197 certified hardware crypto engine, which works at a hardware level and therefore doesn’t impact performance like software-based encryption.
