Introduction

The U2-ATAE40-S with 128-bit, hardware-encrypted security for use with UDMA CompactFlash (CF) memory or IDE/ATAPI Hard Disk Drives using a USB 2.0 interface. The hardware encryption/decryption function, which is fully compliant with the Advanced Encryption Standard(AES), combines with two-level software authentication of passwords to prevent unauthorized access of memory content.

Any unauthorized attempt to decipher the U2-ATAE40's keys is virtually impossible as it would take 149 trillion years to determine all possibilities at an attempted recovery rate of one key per second. This extraordinary level of security is attributed to the 3.4x1038 possible options the U2-ATAE40 offers to code keys.

The U2-ATAE40-S can be configured to manage either a USB-to-CF or USB-to-IDE/ATA interface, but not both simultaneously.

Applications

To turn your SCSI enclosure into USB 2.0 Enclose.

This allows peripheral vendors a unique opportunity to continue the advantage of the ATA/ATAPI economies of scale while presenting U2-ATAE40-S into the rapidly expanding USB 2.0 markets, and to replace the slow & expensive SCSI device with cheap & fast EIDE device. SCSI Enclosure vendors using ATA/ATAPI devices now have an immediate and no-risk solution to add USB 2.0 interface to their product lines.
