• Centralized surveillance

1 Seagate recommends validating your configuration with your HBA/RAID controller manufacturer to ensure full capacity capabilities.
2 Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) and FIPS 140-2 Validated drives are not available in all models or countries. May require TCG-compliant host or controller support.
3 FIPS 140-2 in review. See FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Certificate at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/ documents/140-1/1401val2011.htm#1635
