One of the primary concerns for CIOs in the enterprise
is data security. Encrypted data delivers an additional
level of security to enterprise systems. HGST s846 Self-
Encrypting Drive (SED) SAS SSDs add a new capability—
AESꢀXTS 256 hardware-based encryption—to enterprise
systems.
HGST leverages decades of proven enterprise storage
expertise in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) design, reliability,
ꢁirmware, customer qualiꢁication and system integration
to the s846 2.5-inch SAS solid-state drive (SSD) family.
The synergistic relationship between HGST’s new
throughput-enhancing SSDs and traditional HDDs
provides cost effective, end-to-end enterprise-class
storage solutions, delivering reliability, compatibility,
capacity, cost and system performance. This
combination makes HGST a leading SSD/HDD provider
with the experience and technology needed to meet
escalating reliability, endurance and performance in the
most demanding enterprise environments.
endurance
