Listing details to confirm

The title describes FIPS 140-3 Level 3 as certified, while the feature details specify that certification is pending. Read the status as unconfirmed rather than settled. The listing also describes the drive as encrypted and highlights 256-bit XTS-AES in the title, while the detailed feature field only names XTS-AES hardware encryption. Confirm the security and certification wording that applies to the selected model before relying on it for compliance.
