Seagate Momentus 5400.2 FDE – High Laptop Data Protection

New 2.5-inch laptop hard drive Seagate Momentus 5400.2 FDE provides an easy, cost-effective way to prevent unauthorized access to all laptop PC data, not just selected files or partitions, in case the system or disc drive is lost, stolen, retired or resold.

The Seagate Momentus 5400.2 FDE 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. For users, only a password is needed to self-authenticate for full drive access, while third-party enhancements enable thumb print and smart card options for multi-factor self-authentication. In addition, no time-consuming disc initialization or configuration is required to deploy the encrypting drive.

Seagate Momentus 5400.2 FDE can be used with third-party management software to give organizations an easy way to set up and configure the Momentus 5400 FDE drive and automate protection and management of passwords and encryption keys. Seagate’s encrypting notebook drive also offers these benefits:

Highest level of data protection (AES 128-bit encryption) for data at rest.

Encryption speed that matches the throughput of the drive interface to preserve system performance.

Superior system performance and battery life to software-based disc encryption.

Quick erase, or scrubbing, of drives that are repurposed or retired.

Preboot authentication gives users secure access to their notebook data.

Full Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support for local cryptographic key backup and archive, providing key management capabilities for individual users to large organizations.
