Micron has been manufacturing self-encrypting drives (SEDs) for more than half a decade. The onboard 256-bit encryption engine featured in all of our SEDs is state-of-the-art and provides the best available protection for your stored data in case your laptop is lost or stolen. However, even the very best encryption technology available is only as secure as your password.

Micron is proud to be a charter member of the Drive Trust Alliance, or DTA, which is announcing its launch this month (October 2015), which also happens to be National Cyber Security Awareness Month in the United States.

Right up front, you’re probably asking, “What in the world do disaster recovery and secure data erase have to do with each other?” Well, I’m glad you asked.

Micron’s Storage Executive software offers an easy interface to analyze and manage our SATA drives and is compatible with both Linux and Windows systems for your desktop or laptop.
