A
hard disk drive technology developed by
Seagate
that was first widely used with
DVR's
and later introduced to personal
computers with the Seagate Momentus 5400 FDE.2. This
technology
encrypts the
data
on the hard disk drive and only allows that data to be read by
the device or computer the drive is installed in. Because this
new innovation is built onto the hard disk drive computers can
have these drives installed with no additional software or
patches. In addition the drives have a feature that allow them
to be instantly erased, which helps prevent any sensitive data
being read when the drive is sold or used in another computer.
