Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a leading manufacturer of embedded memory products, recently released industrial-grade TCG Opal encrypted solid-state drives (SSDs), elevating data security in an era of big data in which information is being collected and transmitted on vast scales. By complying with the TCG Opal 2.0 standards and IEEE 1667 specification, Transcend’s TCG Opal SSDs support Microsoft® eDrive functionality, delivering industry-leading security to high-end applications including defense, finance, digital entertainment, and smart healthcare.

Transcend’s Opal-compliant SSDs incorporate hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption; ensuring data is safeguarded starting from the manufacture of the storage device to system installation and management. As a self-encrypting device (SED), the TCG Opal SSDs will not impact host performance since encryption and decryption are conducted on the drives themselves instead of the host system, increasing the system speeds while mitigating data security risks.
