IM TCG Opal SSC SSD Series
IM TCG Opal SSC SSD Series, from Intelligent Memory EMEA GmbH, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4803 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.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Rules Section of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
IM TCG Opal SSC SSD Series are high-performance, self-encrypting solid state (Flash) drives that support either the SATA or NVMe interface. User data is protected by an AES-256XTS on-the-fly hardware encryption algorithm that does not compromise data transfer rates. This SS series implements several FIPS approved cryptographic algorithms. The FIPS approved services are provided via the TCG Opal protocol.
