Seagate announced its forthcoming Momentus 5400 FDE.2 laptop-use hard drive with built-in full-disk encryption. Seagate says the Momentus 5400 FDE.2 2.5-inch 5,400rpm drive will transparently perform all cryptographic operations and access control within the drive itself, and that users will need only a password to self-authenticate for full-drive access.
According to Scott Shimomura, senior product marketing manager at Seagate, this new hardware-based technology will provide companies and individuals with full protection directly on their hard drives without having to worry about additional security software or the need for extensive setup or configuration.
“It will simply be a matter of setting the password to the drive, and that’s basically it,” said Shimomura on Monday, at the Storage Networking World conference in Orlando, Florida.
