Samsung wants the world to know that its new enterprise solid state drives (SSDs) with built-in hardware encryption are the shiznit, or to use plain English, they boast government grade AES 256-bit encryption.
"Faster and more secure than its predecessor, our new corporate-focused SSD is the only one with self-encryption built on TCG's Opal standard that's available on the market today," said Jim Elliot, Vice President, Memory Marketing and Product Planning, Samsung.
By Samsung's estimation, a lost or stolen notebook ends up costing a company $200 per lost record. Samsung's SSDs include always-on hardware encryption with the data encryption and user authentication taking place in the drive controller rather than being stored in software. According to Samsung, its self-encrypting SSDs also perform 2.4 times higher than an SSD with software encryption and 3.7 times higher than an HDD with software encryption.
