Microsemi’s 1 TB TRRUST-Stor SATA SLC self-encrypting solid-state drive is aimed at keeping sensitive data from getting in the wrong hands with features including AES-256 encryption, sanitization protocols, and Microsemi’s TRRUST Purge technology that renders data unrecoverable in less than 30 ms. Engineers designed the solid-state drive – model MSD01T – for use in rugged environments. The host-accessible capacity is 900 GB (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), has ATA–7 and ATA–8 commands, with the media SLC NAND flash. Power ranges from 5 V +/-10 percent, with standby power at 1.8 W.

Model MSD01T comes in a 2.5-inch (100.45/69.85/9.5 mm) form factor. It also has power-loss protection with no caps or batteries to degrade over time and high temperature. Additional options for model MSD01T include extended burn-in, OEM customization, ruggedized interface connectors, and custom labeling. Data management and protection on the MSD01T includes uncorrected bit error rate of one sector per 10-18, protection from silent corruption (32-bit CRC per sector), mean time between failures of >2,000,000 hours, power loss protection, read and write wear leveling, SMART attributes, write endurance (16 petabytes for the MSD1TB drive), no forced EOL from firmware/controller availability issues, and built-in self-test.
