Security ■■ Single chip, DRAM-less solution for small form factor support, and lowest BOM cost Data security is a critical component in industrial applications. The SF2300 flash controllers feature high-level security protocols to protect the security of data stored in flash memory. Seagate DuraClass technology automatically stores data in a highly secure AES-256 and AES-128 hardware encrypted format, that double encrypts the data. The SF2300 controller also supports TCG Opal 2.0 and Microsoft eDrive security requirements.

Data Protection and Reliability The SF2300 flash controller provides a superior, higher-level BCH ECC algorithm (with up to 55 bits/512 byte sector protection) with the unique RAISE™ (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) technology. RAISE technology provides the protection and reliability of RAID on a single drive without the 2x write overhead of parity.
