Microsemi has announced its highest security and capacity SATA SSD for defence, intelligence, UAV and other defence-related Network Area Storage (NAS) applications. As increased use of high resolution sensors is changing the way data is stored, higher density SSDs are needed. Microsemi is addressing this market need by leveraging the company’s miniaturisation technology in a compact 2.5”, 9.5mm form factor.

The MSD01TBAM2R TRRUST-STOR 1TB SSD is designed and built for extreme reliability and data security applications. The device’s reliability is further enhanced with long life single-level cell flash and advanced error correction code. By utilising Microsemi’s Armor memory processor technology the company also enables long-term availability to its customers.

The TRRUST-STOR self-encrypting drive offers powerful and flexible key management methods and advanced security features powered by Microsemi’s Armor processor technology. For sensitive applications, the encryption key can be erased in less than 30ms, and a second security layer can be activated to erase the entire storage media in less than 10 seconds, rendering data forensically unrecoverable.

“This technology allows customers to upgrade or design new highly secure NAS systems in a compact solution,” said BJ Heggli, General Manager for Microsemi's memory and storage business. “Microsemi’s secure 1TB SSD is a leading-edge solution for high capacity secure NAS solutions that allows our team to further support our customers’ increased security needs, while catering to their small form factor requirements.”

“Microsemi’s 1TB self-encrypting SSD provides systems and security engineers with a single solution addressing the most demanding data reliability and protection requirements,” commented Charlie Leader, Vice President and General Manager, Power & Microelectronics Group, Microsemi. “We are committed to designing and delivering highly rugged, miniaturised and secure storage systems where data protection is mission critical.”
