Secure Military Grade Solid State Drives Overview

Consumer and enterprise data storage is transitioning from rotary, magnetic media to SSDs comprised of dense, rugged NAND flash memory. With no moving parts, NAND flash-based drives are a requirement for all military and aerospace mission-critical applications. Today, military needs are driving data storage requirements far beyond deployable ruggedness in to the domains of robust data security, purging and sanitation.

A family of trusted tools

Mercury offers multiple user-definable sanitization protocols, including:

TRRUST-Purge® to wipe the encryption key in less than 30ms.
Fast clear with encryption key purge and overwriting of all data in 3 to 8 seconds.
And other common military purge protocols – please contact Mercury for more information.
