How to install DIGISTOR Citadel C 2 TB NVMe SSD

Installing the DIGISTOR Citadel C 2 TB NVMe SSD is straightforward for most modern systems equipped with an M.2 PCIe slot. Begin by powering down the computer and disconnecting all cables. Open the case or service panel to access the motherboard. Locate a free M.2 slot that accepts 2280-length cards and supports PCIe NVMe. If your motherboard requires a secure boot configuration, you may adjust the BIOS/UEFI settings to enable NVMe drive support and, if applicable, enable Secure Boot and TPM policies to align with your organization’s security posture. Insert the Citadel C into the M.2 slot at a slight angle, usually around 30 degrees, and press down gently until the notch aligns with the key. Secure the drive with the mounting screw, then replace the case panel. Power on the system and enter the BIOS to confirm the drive is recognized. In the operating system, initialize the drive if required and configure any PBA or MFA policies according to your security framework. After boot, you can manage encryption keys and authentication settings per your organization’s identity management strategy. For best results, update firmware if a newer version is available and verify that the drive is functioning correctly under load with your standard benchmarking tools.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the DIGISTOR Citadel C 2 TB NVMe SSD?

    A: It is a high-security, high-performance M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive that combines hardware encryption, multifactor authentication, and pre-boot authentication to protect data at rest. It is FIPS-certified and TAA compliant, making it suitable for enterprise and regulated environments while delivering the speed and reliability of modern PCIe NVMe storage.

  • Q: Is the Citadel C compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS?

    A: Yes. The drive is built on standard M.2 NVMe technology and supports common operating systems. Security features such as hardware encryption and PBA enhance protection across platforms, while management and deployment are typically aligned with enterprise IT practices that span these environments.

  • Q: What is Pre-Boot Authentication (PBA) and why is it important?

    A: Pre-Boot Authentication is a security feature that requires authentication before the operating system boots. This helps prevent unauthorized access to the encrypted data even if the drive is removed or the system is compromised during boot. When combined with multifactor authentication, PBA provides a strong barrier against data breaches caused by stolen hardware or compromised user credentials.

  • Q: How does the FIPS-certified SED protect data?

    A: The hardware-based encryption on a FIPS-certified self-encrypting drive automatically encrypts data as it is written and decrypts it as it is read, using strongly managed keys. This means that even if the drive is removed from a system, the data remains inaccessible without proper authentication, significantly reducing the risk of data exposure.

  • Q: What does TAA compliance mean for this drive?

    A: TAA compliance ensures the drive meets requirements for sale to U.S. government agencies and other entities that must procure products satisfying Trade Agreements Act standards. This makes the Citadel C suitable for government, defense, and enterprise environments with strict procurement and security criteria.

Nice wrist rest
Size: 100% Standard
Comfortable angle, solid enough to not move around but soft enough to be good for long term usage.

Excellent wrist rest, BUT not for me
I'm rating this wrist rest 5 stars despite the fact that it's not for me. The reason that it is not for me is simple: My palms get very sweaty, and this makes my palms stick to the wrist rest, making it hard to move my hands around. This is an inherent limitation of the fact that it is made out of wood, and drove me to the 17" x 4" x 0.75" foam wrist rest from Grifiti instead. If you don't have sweaty palms, however, this wrist rest is perfect. It is 4 inches deep instead of the typical 3.1 inches, it is the perfect height and tapered just so for maximum comfort, the wood (Golden Oak color) is beautiful, and the engraved logo is tasteful and non-intrusive.

The perfect wrist rest. Stop looking, just buy this one!
Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest, Color: Onyx, Size: Tenkeyless/TKL Keyboard Wrist Rest
The perfect wrist rest. I used those gel and silicone wrist rests thinking the softer they are the better. Not so. This is solid hardwood and my wrists no longer ache after a long day at the computer. The size I picked is perfect for a TKL keyboard. The angles, height, and design are optimal for a comfortable typing experience. Even 8-10 hours of typing! I love Glorious' products, they come so well packaged and attention to every detail is given. Gosh, its just a wrist rest! No, it is a tool that provides comfortable work experience.

The wood is great.
I used to use a typical padded wrist pad, but am a heavy sweater. Upon reading another review in regards to that matter I decided to take the plunge on this rest. I have been a user of the Model O mouse from Glorious for a while and liked it so I trusted the company's reputation for taking gamers' needs into consideration. After using it for about a week and playing different types of games/working from home on it, I can say that although your sweat might pool during sweaty moments, it's easy to wipe off and doesn't seem to easily absorb into the wood. The wood itself is of a nice quality, I like the oak over the onyx for a more "real wood" look. There was no difference in comfort for me, you'd think being used to a padded wrist this shift would be "hard" on me, but no, I haven't had any problems. It's ergonomics for typing are also good as I notice my WPM and consistency be higher on multiple tests. All-in-all quite satisfied with the purchase, fits the aesthetic, feel, and ergonomics I was looking for.

Very well made, matches width of Keychron Q6 perfectly, great for bigger hands!
This is a nicely finished slab of wood that is an EXACT match for my Keychron Q6 in both width and height. Depthwise, this is 4", so if you got larger hands (as I do), this is a bit better than the silicone Keychron version which I believe is 3.5" or so in depth. The non-stick feet are a nice feature, and the profile is wonderful to type on. Only issue with the item I received is a small nick right below the Glorious emblem on the lower right of the wrist rest - may have been an errant tool mark. However, this doesn't detract in my own opinion, from the well-designed profile and features of this wrist rest and was easily covered with a furniture marking pen. I'm still giving this item 5-stars and getting another one for the office!
