Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Samsung SAS 12G TCG Enterprise SSC SEDs PM163x Series, is a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 SSD (Solid State Drive), supporting TCG Enterprise SSC based SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) features, designed to protect unauthorized access to the user data stored in its NAND Flash memories. The built-in AES HW engines in the cryptographic module’s controller provide on-the-fly encryption and decryption of the user data without performance loss. The SED’s nature also provides instantaneous sanitization of the user data via cryptographic erase.
