P05980-X21 Overview

Digitally signed firmware is a type of firmware that includes an electronic signature from the manufacturer to ensure that the firmware is authentic and has not been tampered with. In the case of the HPE P05980-X21 960GB SATA 6GBPS SSD, this means that the firmware has been verified by HPE to be the original, unmodified version of the firmware intended for the device.
This is important because firmware is a critical component of any storage device and it must be trusted in order to ensure the stability, reliability, and security of the device. A digitally signed firmware helps to prevent the installation of malware, unauthorized updates, or malicious firmware that can harm the device and the data stored on it.
