Business Friendly Features
The 840 PRO Series SSD introduces three
important hardware features for businesses:
Worldwide Name (WWN), LED Indicator support,
and hardware-based AES 256-bit Full Disk
Encryption (FDE). The first two of these features
make it easier to integrate the 840 PRO SSD into
server and storage systems. The third, hardware-
based AES Encryption, helps safeguard data
against attack by encrypting all information on the
disk at the hardware level, which means there is no
detrimental effect on performance. Because the
encryption key is stored on the drive itself, it is not
at risk of interception or outside attack, even if the
drive is placed into a new PC. Also, destroying data
is as easy as performing a Secure Erase using the
Magician software.
In additional to the hardware features mentioned
above, Samsung's Magician software is being
completely redesigned and will include several
business-friendly new features when version 4.0
becomes available later this year. With the addition
of Drive Health Status, Total Bytes Written (TBW),
and Disk Scan & Error Reporting functionality, it will
be much easier for IT managers to monitor drive
health and plan hardware replacement cycles.
