SanDisk today released its first self-encrypting SSDs, a line of drives aimed at enterprises. SanDisk's new X300s SSD uses both the Trusted Computing Group's Opal 2.0 specification and Microsoft Encrypted Hard Drive hardware-based encryption to protect data on the drive.

The encryption algorithms are also coupled with a management dashboard for IT admins to use for audit and compliance purposes.

The SanDisk X300s SSD will be available in June through the SanDisk Commercial Business Channel in two form factors - 2.5-in x 7mm thick and an M.2 single-sided expansion board, with capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.
