Microsemi has today introduced the world’s only secure, half-terabyte solid state drive, the ruggedized TRRUST-Stor Series 200. This new SSD is targeted at mobile video surveillance operations, storage area networks and other high capacity storage applications requiring superior real-time data protection. Operating at a sustained 200 MB/s, the TRRUST-Stor Series 200 2.5” SATA SSD delivers the fastest full-hardware-based erase time in the industry (less than 10 seconds). Available now, this self-encrypting half TB SSD is shipping to multiple customers to support applications requiring massive secure storage capacity.

Offering military-grade ruggedization, the TRRUST-Stor Series 200 SSD features unparalleled safeguards and processes for physical data storage with multiple layers of security features. This suite of industry-leading features prevents corruption and unauthorized access with both hardware- and software-based barriers. The drive features a built-in compact in-line encryptor with hardware-implemented, NIST-certified AES 256 encryption using the XTS block cipher mode.

The TRRUST-Stor Series 200 offers ruggedization features, including superior error correction, 9 petabytes write endurance, power loss protection and more than 2 million hours MTBF. An enhanced mechanical construction ensures operation in extreme temperatures, humidity, shock and vibration.

Charlie Leader, general manager for Microsemi’s Power Management Group commented: “Data storage security and reliability are primary defences in the battle to protect critical information from loss or breach that can put individuals, companies, organizations and nations at high risk. Our TRRUST-Stor drives are built for extreme reliability and data integrity, and are the most secure, most reliable SSDs available on the market. We also leveraged our miniaturization technology to create an SSD only 9.5 millimetres in height that meets small form factor parameters required for SANs.”

Powered by Microsemi’s second generation Armor processor, the TRRUST-Stor Series 200 enables robust performance. The new SSDs can also load encryption keys and customers can input their own AES-256 keys, purge them and reload as needed. Microsemi’s TRRUST-Purge technology destroys keys in under 30 milliseconds when activated.

TRRUST-Stor Series 200 key features:

•Capacity: Half-terabyte non-volatile storage using reliable, long-life SLC NAND flash,

•Performance: 200 MB/s sustained reads and writes,

•Encryption: Hardware-based implementation of AES-256 encryption with XTS, protecting sensitive data,

•Security: Flexible key management with loadable AES encryption keys. An optional hardware-based authentication enables higher levels of security. The TRRUST-Purge function erases the keys in under 30ms, rendering data forensically unrecoverable,

•U.S.-made with full BOM and assembly control,

•Fast Erase Capability: Hardware-based fast clear of the entire drive occurs in less than 10 seconds,

•High-reliability: Developed to endure harsh environments, TRRUST-Stor SSD’s ruggedized specifications allow the disk drive to withstand up to 3000 gravitational shock and 30 G root-mean-square acceleration of vibration,

•Obsolescence Management: Leveraging Microsemi Armor flash management processor and IP, product obsolescence is mitigated.
