Transcend Information, Inc. developed its industrial-grade TCG Opal encrypted solid-state drives (SSDs) with 256-bit encryption and to adhere to TCG Opal 2.0 standards and IEEE 1667 specification while adding support for Microsoft® eDrive for security solutions within defense, finance, and smart healthcare.

The SSDs are self-encrypting devices (SEDs) featuring sector-specific security, pre-boot authentication, and the ability to perform encryption and decryption on the devices instead of a host.

For password management and sector-specific authorizations, Transend provides its  TCG Opal Toolbox to better manage security in areas of large operation.
