Enhanced data protection in the event of power failure. Enhanced power failure data protection prepares SSDs for unexpected system power losses by minimizing the amount of data in transit through temporary buffers. It uses the onboard power failure protection capability to provide enough power to the storage unit firmware to move data from the transfer buffer and other temporary buffers to NAND memory, protecting system and user data. Intel® Rapid Start Technology. Intel® Rapid Start Technology enables rapid system recovery from hibernate state. Hardware encryption. Hardware encryption is data encryption performed at the disk level. It serves to ensure that data stored on the drive is protected from untimely intrusion. End-to-end data protection. End-to-end data protection ensures the integrity of stored data from computer to SSD and vice versa. Temperature management and logging. The temperature control and logging functions use an internal temperature sensor to monitor the internal temperature of the appliance and air flow and record this information. Logged results are accessible via the SMART command. Intel® Intelligent Response Technology. Intel® Intelligent Response Technology combines the fast performance of a compact SSD with the large storage capacity of a hard drive. High Endurance Technology (HET, High Endurance Technology). High Endurance Technology (HET) technology in SSDs combines Intel® NAND Flash chip enhancements and NAND SSD management techniques to increase the endurance of these units. Endurance is defined as the volume of data writable on an SSD storage unit over its lifetime. Intel® Remote Secure Erase. Intel® Remote Secure Erase provides IT administrators with a secure method to remotely erase a Intel SSD from a familiar management console when removing or recycling a system. This allows for immediate reuse while saving time on administrative tasks and costs.
