FIPS 140-2 is a US government standard that defines the security requirements for cryptographic modules used in computer systems. It stands for Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2.
The standard defines four levels of security, ranging from minimal to high, and outlines specific security requirements such as key generation, encryption algorithms, and physical security measures. Products that are certified as FIPS 140-2 compliant must meet these requirements and undergo rigorous testing by a certified laboratory.
FIPS 140-2 compliance is important for organizations handling sensitive information as it provides assurance that cryptographic modules used in their systems have been evaluated and verified to meet a high standard of security. This helps reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Advantages of Using N26C5 Hard DriveThe N26C5 hard drive has several advantages, including:
- High storage capacity: With a capacity of 2.4 TB, the N26C5 hard drive offers ample storage space for large amounts of data, making it ideal for use in data centers and other enterprise environments.
- Fast data transfer rate: The SAS-12GBps interface and 10K RPM spindle speed of the N26C5 hard drive result in fast data transfer rates, reducing the time it takes to access and transfer large amounts of data.
- Improved reliability: The N26C5 hard drive is designed with a high-quality mechanism, which reduces the risk of failure and improves overall reliability.
- Enhanced security: The 256MB buffer size and FIPS 140-2 encryption support make the N26C5 hard drive a secure choice for storing sensitive data, protecting it from unauthorized access.
- Compatible with Dell systems: The N26C5 hard drive is designed to be compatible with Dell systems, making it easy to integrate into existing infrastructure.
- Improved performance: The combination of a large buffer size and fast data transfer rate results in improved performance and faster access times for data stored on the N26C5 hard drive.
- Energy efficient: The N26C5 hard drive is designed to be energy efficient, reducing power consumption and helping to lower operational costs.
Buffer size refers to the amount of memory that is dedicated to temporarily storing data as it is being transferred to or from a hard drive. It acts as an intermediate buffer between the computer's processor and the hard drive's storage media. The larger the buffer size, the more data can be stored and transferred at once, which can result in improved performance, especially during high I/O (input/output) operations.
Encryption refers to the process of converting plain text data into encrypted code, or ciphertext, using an algorithm. The encrypted data can only be decrypted and restored to its original form with the correct decryption key. Encryption is used to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or theft by making it unreadable to anyone who does not have the decryption key.
In the context of a hard drive, encryption can be used to secure the data stored on it, protecting it even if the drive is lost or stolen. Many hard drives offer hardware-based encryption, which uses a specialized encryption module built into the drive to perform the encryption and decryption processes, resulting in improved security and performance compared to software-based encryption.

Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
