Seagate Technology News Release Seagate and SECUDE Demonstrate New Class of Notebook PC Security at CeBIT 2006

The Momentus 5400 FDE hard drive automatically encrypts all its data, not just selected files or partitions, to simplify the protection of information stored on notebook computers. The drive’s hardware-based full disc encryption delivers significantly stronger protection against hacking and tampering than traditional encryption approaches by securely performing all cryptographic operations and key management within the drive.

Unlike alternatives, Momentus FDE delivers full inline-speed encryption to minimize any performance impacts to the system, allows all drive data to be instantly erased for fast system or hard drive redeployments, and streamlines disc initialization and configuration.
