KIOXIA America, Inc. today announced that the cryptographic module used in KIOXIA CM7 Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe Enterprise SSDs has been validated to meet Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3, Level 2 for cryptographic modules.

The FIPS 140-3 standard specifies a set of security requirements of the Cryptographic Module Validation Program administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), used as a security metric for federal agencies to procure validated IT equipment. Companies and federal agencies may prefer or may now be required to deploy newer, more stringent government standards - which SSDs validated to FIPS 140-3 requirements would meet. Compared to the previous FIPS 140-2 requirements, 140-3 provides higher standards for SSDs, including a stronger authentication method and updated implementation guidance.




KIOXIA brought PCIe 5.0 technology to server and storage applications with the KIOXIA CM7 Series NVMe SSD. Targeted to enterprise applications and use cases - including artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, online transaction processing databases, and data warehousing - KIOXIA CM7 Series drives bring enterprise performance, reliability and security to data center servers and storage.

KIOXIA CM7 Series SSD Key Features include:
  • PCIe 5.0 compliant NVMe SSDs in 2.5-inch and E3.S SSD form factors
  • Dual and single-port support
  • Read-intensive and mixed-use endurances
  • Capacities from 1.6 terabytes (TB) to 30.72 TB (15.36 TB in E3.S form factor)
  • Security options include: Sanitize instant erase (SIE)2, TCG Opal self-encrypting drive (SED)3 and SED utilizing FIPS 140-3 Level 2 module

"Protecting data is becoming increasingly important to organizations of all sizes, and adhering to high security standards is being required for all types of storage," said Maulik Sompura, senior staff director of product marketing for KIOXIA America, Inc. "We continue to raise the bar with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation for the cryptographic controller used in our SSDs, providing customers with peace of mind with some of the highest storage security measures available."

Does not matter, if they target US market customers and comply with gov. norm
I gotta love paranoia like this. As if AES-256 is a government backdoor...
