Soligen Corp.’s Crypto Secure 2.5 SATA encrypted solid-state drive (SSD) offers secure data storage for a range of applications that aim to prevent data from getting into the wrong hands. Crypto Secure, which carries the federal information processing standard FIPS 140-2 encryption certification, is available with as much as 512 GB density. The integrated memory processor supports different operating system requirements. The SSD includes self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technologies together with built-in-test capability. The device was designed and built in the U.S.

The self-encrypting Crypto Secure SSD also includes key management, 256-bit pass phrase protection, and authentication. The SSD supports a dual host interface, either SATA 1.5 Gb/s or 3 Gb/s. It also has SMART command attributes, and supports legacy and native command queuing. The system has SLC/MLC NAND-type flash, intelligent “recycling” for advanced free-space management, whole-drive dynamic wear leveling, and data integrity while under power cycling. The flash interface and memory also supports an external bus switch to reduce bus loading. In the event of failure, the SSD can perform a full-drive erase in less than 10 seconds.
