SK hynix PE8010 and PE8030 NVMe Opal SEDs

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4436 · SK hynix Inc. · data as of 2026-10-09

SK hynix PE8010 and PE8030 NVMe Opal SEDs, from SK hynix Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4436 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement. Observed moving to historical on 2026-09-22. It was one of the last FIPS 140-2 certificates, all moved at the 140-2 sunset on 2026-09-21.

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

These products are NAND semiconductor-based data drives for server systems. Faster response to servers is available, compared to hard disk drives, but the basic operation is the same as conventional hard disk drives.
