Fujitsu Asia recently launched the MJA2 CH series of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs) for the ASEAN and India markets.
The series is said to be the first 500GB HDD line to incorporate hardware-based support for the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), for enhanced security and improved performance compared to software-based encryption.
With on-board AES support, the HDDs automatically encrypt and decrypt data during read and write operations respectively. Unlike software-enabled regimes, the series’ hardware-based approach does not require encryption keys to be loaded onto the computer’s memory, for improved system performance and enhanced data security.
Data stored on the MJA2 CH series can be securely erased in less than one second, offering significant time savings when formatting HDDs for reuse or disposal.
Developed in line with Fujitsu’s Green Policy Innovation program to promote energy-efficient IT products and services, the MJA2 CH requires only 1.4W of power to perform write operations, compared to 2.1W or more for earlier Fujitsu HDDs. The series is also Fujitsu’s first halogen-free HDD line, making it an environmentally friendly product range throughout its entire lifecycle.
