Low Latency Self-Encrypting
Drives (SEDs)
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 SelfEncrypting Drive (SED) SAS SSDs add a new capability—
AESXTS 256 hardware-based encryption—to enterprise
systems.
In addition to its world-class performance, the s846
SAS SSD provides the most reliable, longest lasting
SSD solution now available for the enterprise market.
Based on fourth generation HGST patented SSD
controller technology, the s846 SAS SSD delivers the
best performance, endurance (i.e., device lifetimes) and
reliability that is unmatched in the industry.
