Apacer’s Signed Firmware technology is a secure way to update firmware. By including a digital signature, a firmware update will be authenticated by the Apacer SSD before a firmware update is performed. This extra layer of protection keeps drives secure.
| Apacer’s signed firmware technology is a simple and reliable way for users to be sure that their Apacer drives only install valid and authentic firmware created by Apacer’s professional firmware team. The process of downloading signed firmware generally happens without the user noticing what’s going on in the drive, but it’s important for all users to know that their firmware update is as secure as any other component in the drive production and maintenance process. |  |

ATA Secure Erase
When this command is given, an SSD will reset all its storage cells to empty, releasing trapped electrons and restoring the drive to its original state. This operation completely wipes data from the drive.
-
CoreSecurity2
Apacer’s CoreSecurity2 is a proprietary data protection technology developed to elevate the data security level through customized firmware and prevent data leakage, delivering higher reliability for storage devices.
-
Instant Keychange™
Apacer based the Instant Keychange™ function on AES encryption, and it can be trigged either via hardware or software. Destroying the original key and creating a new one takes less than a second – much faster than traditional forms of drive erasure.
-
TCG Opal 2.0
TCG Opal handles the encryption/decryption of information within the device without requiring a host, enabling fast encryption/ decryption and minimizing the risk of data leakage without undermining system performance.
-
Write Protect
Apacer's Write Protect feature offers this capability, allowing users to safeguard critical information by completely preventing any write operations.
-
Opaque
Apacer has developed the Opaque software as a custom implementation of the TCG Opal 2.0 standard. Its accessible interface allows users to control useful security functions, such as pre-boot authorization and drive revert.
