Foresee/Longsys P709 PCIe M.2 SSD With Double Encryption for Data Security

Ever since the emergence of PCs, HDDs have become the most prevalent type of storage device. To accelerate the overall data flow of PCs, increase the storage throughput, and further enhance data security of the HDDs, disk arrays were invented.

Information and data security is critical for both individuals and enterprises. The safety of DVRs, computer system disks, monitoring servers, banking systems, warehouses and other data and files can determine whether or not an institution survives. Therefore, the safety performance of SSD is a major focal point.

To meet the demand for SSD security and reliability, the Foresee, industry brand of Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co., Ltd., SSD R&D team launched the P709 PCIe SSD, which, empowered by the TCG-OPAL 2.0 and Pyrite 2.0 encryption functions, ensures data security and avoids data leakage. In addition to the encryption functions, the capacity combination, power consumption and R/W performance of this product can hold its own vs. the mainstream market standard. When it comes to compatibility, the P709 PCIe SSD has been certified by Intel Modern Standby and UNH-IOL thanks to its low-power performance. Not only does it prolong the battery life of terminal devices, it also ensures product stability by balancing speed and temperatures during continuous operation through the use of temperature control algorithms.

This SSD focuses more on product security. As a result, the company worked with the TCG OPAL technical and software team to incorporate TCG OPAL 2.0 into the product via software and hardware integration. This function allows for fast encryption/decryption by processing information in the device without a host, thereby minimizing the risk of data leakage without affecting system performance. Featuring easy-to-use windows, TCG OPAL 2.0 protects information security through functions such as setting boot permissions and block management permissions, as well as restoring factory settings.

The Pyrite SSC feature is also a mainstream encryption function. To meet extensive application and market needs, the Pyrite SSC protocol can carry out access restrictions on user data without having to specify encryption requirements.

This protocol supports commands in the same way as the Opal SSC, Opalite SSC, and Ruby SSC protocols, with the following features:

• Global range: Lock a single LBA range that contains the entire user data space on the storage device

• Admin authorities: Authorize an administrator

• User authorities: Allow authorization for 2 (ordinary) users

• DataStore table: Specify the size of the data store table as 128KB

• Optional MBR shadowing: Optional MBR Shadowing is an optional feature of the Pyrite SSC protocol

Building upon the foundation of Pyrite 1.0, Pyrite 2.0 adds a more rigorous data deletion mechanism and data protection function, enabling it to be used in storage devices throughout Asia, Europe and USA.

As more and more devices are connected to cloud storage through the IoT, the openness of data may also result in a variety of information security issues and malicious attacks. vs. this backdrop, an integrated information security solution powered by the state-of-the-art encryption technology will be of the utmost importance when it comes to protecting the data of enterprises.
