The OXUF924DSE SATA storage controller features an embedded encryption engine that provides users with the option of highly robust data security. By integrating hardware-enabled encryption, the controller also ensures that high data-transfer speeds are maintained, in excess of 80Mbytes/s. Bridging between dual SATA disks and USB2.0, FireWire400 and FireWire800 ports, the chip offers real-time 128-bit AES. Supporting secure-token, software-password and biometric sensor-encryption authentication methods, the chip offers the flexibility to create multiple storage products from a single hardware platform. It is backed by a comprehensive software-development kit, an evaluation board and a selection of encrypted-storage reference designs. Supported storage methodologies include disk striping (RAID0), disk mirroring (RAID1) and disk spanning.
