Introduction

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