At STEC, we fully understand the critical need in the gaming realm to protect data in compliance with the most stringent specifications. By using STEC flash products, you will drastically reduce the effort involved in the product certification process, thus saving money and improving the time to market.

With TotalDriveProtection, STEC offers varying levels of security, such as USB Protection and the IDE Protection.

The IDE protection, available on STEC's CompactFlash cards, allows customers to make the card physically read-only in the gaming application. Furthermore, the customer can partition the drive in several zones, and for each of them can decide whether the zone is password protected in write and read operations.

STEC flash products are made with state-of-the-art solid state components. Different from rotating HDD or CD drive, these flash products have no internal moving parts, and therefore will not face any failure caused by dust and shock produced by falling coins.

STEC TotalDriveProtection provides a complete security package, achieved without any compromise on product removability, so that the memory can still be easily removed from the application for auditing purposes or for software upgrades.
