Data at rest security has never been simpler or more affordable. The DIGISTOR Citadel C 1 TB NVMe SSD is a purpose-built, FIPS-certified self-encrypting drive (SED) that puts enterprise-grade protection directly into the hardware. Designed for modern devices and demanding IT environments, Citadel C combines hardware encryption, multifactor authentication, and pre-boot authentication (PBA) into a single, minutely managed solution. This means your sensitive data remains protected even if the device is lost or stolen, while staying compliant with stringent government and industry requirements. Powered by Cigen, this drive delivers a comprehensive security stack without the complexity or high cost often associated with advanced data protection. In short, Citadel C C1 TB is a secure, reliable, and procurement-friendly option for organizations that demand robust data-at-rest protection without sacrificing performance or ease of deployment.

  • Uncompromising data protection at rest. The Citadel C 1 TB combines hardware-based encryption with FIPS-certified compliance to secure every byte stored on the drive. With AES-based encryption implemented in hardware, sensitive information remains protected even in the event of physical loss or theft, helping organizations meet strict regulatory and contractual obligations.
  • Multifactor authentication and pre-boot authentication (PBA). Access to the drive is protected by multifactor authentication and PBA, which prevents unauthorized access before the operating system boots. This layered approach reduces the risk of credential theft, insider threats, and boot-level attacks while maintaining seamless user workflows for legitimate administrators and end users.
  • M.2 2280 form factor with PCIe NVMe performance. The 1 TB Citadel C is engineered for modern laptops, workstations, and compact desktops that demand strong security without sacrificing speed. Its PCIe NVMe interface delivers high-throughput performance in a compact M.2 2280 package, enabling fast OS boots, rapid application loading, and smooth data-intensive tasks while preserving security features.
  • TAA compliance for government and regulated sectors. The drive is designed to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, making it suitable for procurement in government, defense, and other regulated environments. This compliance simplifies acquisitions, audits, and ongoing governance while delivering enterprise-grade security in a compact device.
  • Cost-effective, turnkey security. Citadel C provides a complete security solution without relying on expensive software licenses or intricate infrastructure. The combination of hardware encryption, PBA, MFA, and built-in security features reduces total cost of ownership while delivering robust protection and simpler deployment across mixed environments.

How to install DIGISTOR Citadel C 1 TB

  • Power down the host device and disconnect from power sources. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling hardware components.
  • Locate the M.2 2280 slot on the motherboard or supported expansion card. If your system uses a heat sink or shielding, remove it carefully to access the slot.
  • Insert the Citadel C 1 TB into the M.2 slot at a slight angle, aligning the notch with the connector. Gently push the drive down toward the motherboard until it rests with the mounting hole aligned.
  • Secure the drive with the M.2 mounting screw or standoff as required by your chassis. Reinstall any heatsinks or covers removed earlier.
  • Power on the system and enter the BIOS/UEFI. Ensure the NVMe drive is detected and set as needed for boot or storage usage. Enable any required NVMe support or security-related BIOS options if your environment requires them.
  • Boot into the operating system and initialize the drive. If you are using the Citadel C’s pre-boot authentication, follow the on-screen prompts to enroll your authentication factors and configure the PBA workflow as directed by your IT administrator.
  • Install any recommended firmware updates for the drive and ensure your authentication keys or tokens are securely stored in your organization’s credential management system. Verify encryption is active and that access requires the configured MFA/PBA credentials.
  • Test access using legitimate credentials and confirm that data appears encrypted at rest. Run a basic security check and ensure that the drive is functioning correctly within your environment’s backup and restore workflows.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the DIGISTOR Citadel C 1 TB? It is a 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive featuring FIPS-certified hardware encryption, multifactor authentication, and pre-boot authentication to protect data at rest. It is designed for secure deployments in government, regulated industries, and enterprise environments while remaining cost-effective.
  • How does multifactor authentication work with this drive? The Citadel C requires multiple authentication factors to unlock access to the encrypted data. This typically includes something you know (a passphrase) and additional factors such as a token or smart card, combined with pre-boot authentication to prevent access before the operating system loads.
  • Is the Citadel C 1 TB compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux? The drive uses standard PCIe NVMe interfaces and, as a hardware-encrypted SED, is designed to function across common operating systems. Specific compatibility and setup for PBA/MFA may require administrator configuration and management tooling depending on the OS and security policies.
  • What does TAA compliance mean for my procurement? TAA compliance indicates the drive meets procurement requirements for government and other regulated agencies. It helps simplify audits, contract compliance, and vendor verifications when purchasing for official use.
  • Do I need to purchase additional software to use encryption? The Citadel C is a turnkey hardware-encrypted solution with integrated PBA and MFA. While it minimizes software dependencies, certain enterprise deployments may use credential management or identity solutions to integrate MFA tokens or smart cards with the pre-boot process.
  • What are best practices for securing the Citadel C 1 TB in production? Follow standard security practices: securely store recovery keys and credentials, maintain up-to-date firmware, restrict physical access to devices, monitor access logs, and align deployment with your organization’s data protection and incident response policies.

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
