Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
X-Wall MX+ is a real-time SATA-to-SATA single chip crypto module. It sits between a SATA host and a SATA device and provides in-line 6Gbps AES ECB/CBC/XTS 256-bit cryptographic throughput to the connected SATA disk drive (SSD included), including boot sector, temp files, swap files, and the operating system. X-Wall MX+ is an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) that can be populated directly onto either the SATA host or SATA device interface. It is OS independent and doesn’t occupy host CPU and memory resources.
