3.11 Die RAID
Die RAID is a controller function which leveraged user capacity to back up the data in NAND flash.
Die RAID supported can ensure the user data in the NAND Flash more consistent in certain
scenario. Innodisk InnoAGE M.2 (S80) 3TI7 series is default enable the Die RAID function for the
industrial application.
3.12 Hardware-based 256-bit AES (Optional)
Innodisk InnoAGE M.2 (S80) 3TI7 is designed with 256-bit AES engine, which is built-in the
controller. When controller receives the data package from host, AES engine encrypts the data
package and save the encrypted data into NAND flash. Thus, unauthorized personal has no access
to decrypt the data in NAND flash. Hardware-encryption also means that the process is fully OS
independent, as it does not require compliance with any system or software.
3.12.1 InnoAGE SSD with AES Flow Chart (Optional)
In order to complete the physical security layer of protection, encryption needs to be paired with
an ATA user password by ATA security command. After setting the authorized key by ATA security
command, every time when you power on the system with SSD encrypted, you will be requested
for a password to access the SSD. If the password is correct, the SSD will run well; if not, then
you will not be able to access the SSD then.
3.12.2 Encrypted Key Management (Optional)
Innodisk InnoAGE M.2 (S80) 3TI7 includes two methods of key management to apply to different
applications. The first is a standard approach that allows the firmware to generate a random
number and a unique key when it leaves the factory. This method ensures that the user can easily
apply the SSD with the data encrypted key. Another approach is to meet unique customer
requirements with an encrypted key generated by an SSD from the SATA interface host. The SSD
must keep the encrypted key value when receiving the reset commands. This method works best
for the SSD as a removable device in different systems. Innodisk provides the test tool to execute
the AES hardware encryption. This user-friendly tool, developed by Innodisk Corporation, allows
