Toshiba's MQ01ABU-BW series of self-encrypting, FIPS 140-2 compliant 5,400 rpm HDDs (SED) deliver up to 500 GB of data storage capacity in a ultra-compact 2.5-inch 7mm height form factor. The MQ01ABU-BW leverages Toshiba's Wipe security feature which automatically erases data when the HDD is accessed by an unregistered system. Unlike software-based encryption which relies on the system CPU for encryption processing, the MQ01ABU-BW leverages its onboard crypto-processor to encrypt at full interface speed without impacting system level performance. With FIPS 140-2 level 2 compliance, Toshiba's MQ01ABU-BW offering provides tamper-evident labeling to deliver high level of security.
