• Hardware-based AES 256-bit Encryption – Offers affordable military-grade AES 256-bit data protection
that encrypts the entire hard drive–including boot sector, OS, temp, and swap files.
• Meets Industry Standards – All CRU Secure 256-bit product architecture and encryption engine
designs meet FIPS140-2, level 3 per certification number 1471, and all CRU AES 256-bit security chips
are NIST & CSE validated (FIPS PUB 197).
• Easy-to-Use Security – One physical Security Key is used for all bays and the Security Key can be
stored separately from the unit to make the RTX Secure less vulnerable to attack if the unit is lost or
stolen. No PINs or passwords are needed.
• TrayFree
Trayless Technology for RTX – TrayFree bays make installing drives a breeze. It really is as
™
easy as opening the door, sliding the drive in, and closing the door. No screws, no trays, it just works.
