FIPS 140-2 certificate #1635 · Seagate Technology LLC · data as of 2026-10-21

Seagate Secure Constellation® ES.2 [48-76], Savvio® 10K.5 [1-29] and Savvio® 15K.3 [30-47] Self-Encrypting Drives FIPS 140 Module, from Seagate Technology LLC, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #1635 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Seagate Secure Enterprise Self-Encrypting Drives FIPS 140 Module 2 is embodied in Seagate Constellation® ES.2, Savvio® 15K.3, and Savvio® 10K.5 SED model disk drives. These products meet the performance requirements of the most demanding Enterprise applications. The cryptographic module (CM) provides a wide range of cryptographic services using FIPS approved algorithms. Services include hardware-based data encryption, instantaneous user data disposal with cryptographic erase, independently controlled and protected user data LBA bands and authenticated FW download.
