Ulink: Free Storage Device Testing for Limited Time

Ulink Technology, Inc., with its TCG Opal Family Certification Test Suite, is a test house approved by TCG ^(*) for testing storage devices.

For HDD and SSD makers, having their device tested with the company’s TCG Opal Family Certification Test Suite ensures their device conforms to the latest industry standards and also has a high degree of interoperability with other computing devices on the market. These are crucial considerations when new storage technologies are emerging at breakneck speeds.

And now, for a limited time only, the company is offering free testing of TCG Opal products with its TCG Opal Family Certification Test Suite, which typically costs $3,000/device tested.

“Storage devices continue to increase in capacity from giga-byte to tera-byte. The main concern in the computing industry now is to protect critical user data. TCG Opal provides a technology to encrypt that data and secure it from getting lost during the drive life cycle, such as when computers depreciate or become lost. Ulink’s TCG Opal Family Certification Test Suite validates the implementation of the Opal specification and ensures device interoperability,” said Joseph Chen, CEO.

Better yet, if a storage device passes the firms TCG Opal Family Certification Test Suite, the company will list the device on its Ulink Test List (UTL) webpage so that the whole world can see that the device performs well and plays well with other computing technologies.
