Your data is the heart of your organization. It needs to be kept safe—all the time, the instant you save it to your drive. Seagate Secure™ encryption hard drives keep your data safe even if your drives are lost, stolen, or misplaced.1

  • Seagate Instant Secure Erase renders all data on the hard drive unreadable in less than a second via a cryptographic erase of the data encryption key. So you can securely return, reuse, or dispose of the drive.
  • Auto-Lock automatically locks the drive and secures its data the instant a drive is removed from a system, or the moment the drive or system is powered down.1
  • FIPS 140-2 Validated™ Self-Encrypting Drives are certified by the U.S. and Canadian governments to protect Sensitive but Unclassified and Protected class data.1,2

 

Seagate Self-Encrypting Drives protect data-at-rest and reduce IT drive retirement costs. Seagate FIPS SEDs also do that plus help you achieve FIPS compliance to gain competitive advantage and protect your brand equity. Be Seagate Secure™ — strong enough for national security, yet easy enough for the one-man IT department.

Choose the right family of Seagate Secure™ SED Drives for you.
