IBM 146GB 2.5" 15K 6Gb/s SAS SED 146GB SAS internal hard drive

146GB 2.5" 15K 6Gb/s SAS Self-Encrypting Drive for IBM System x Data security is a growing requirement for businesses of all sizes today. While many companies have invested heavily in methods to thwart network-based attacks and other virtual threats, few effective safeguards have been readily available to protect against potentially costly exposures of proprietary data resulting from a hard drive being physically stolen, misplaced, retired, or redeployed.

Self-encrypting drives (SEDs) provide the ultimate in security for data-at-rest and help reduce IT drive retirement costs in the data center. When combined with the compatible RAID controllers, such as the IBM ServeRAID M5015, M5014, and M1015 SAS/SATA Controllers with the appropriate Advanced Feature Key, the 6Gbps SAS SED drives in IBM System x servers deliver superb performance per watt with a cost-effective, secure solution for businesses of all sizes. Self-encrypting drives are also an excellent choice if you need to comply with government or industry rules regarding data privacy and encryption.

These drives are the industry’s top-performing secure hard drives, capable of ensuring protection of data-at-rest against theft or when drives leave your control; reducing IT drive retirement costs and delivering more transactional performance density at the lowest power for environmentally friendly enterprise storage systems.
