P3608 encryption

DEmby — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 17:31:46 GMT

Can somebody help with the encryption for the P3608 PCIe (NVME) SSD.

If you can point me to the information that would be helpful,

1. I need to know how it works? does Intel supply a SW we have to load to get it to work?

2. Will it work with any OS? We want to use Linux OS

3. How does it manage the "Keys"?

Thanks in advance

Doug

Cheetah,

For this drive, we can let you know the following: The drive comes with AES 256 bit Hardware Encryption and the main configuration is actually done through BIOS. You can check this video to verify how to enable it and use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV5zuDF6MIw PROTECT YOUR DATA! Use an Intel SSD with Full Disk Encryption NCIX Tech Tips - YouTube

Let us know if you need something else.

Thanks nestor_intel. This is good information but really only covers laptop and desktop products.

I'm really looking for the enterprise level as mentioned using Intel P3608 PCIe (NVME) SSD drives.

These drives would be used in enterprise environments in large quanties. Ex: we would use 32 of the P3608 4TB drives in one enclosure (128TB) running Oracle, SQL or government applications.
