DriveTrust
Updated: 08/02/2020 by Computer Hope
DriveTrust is a hard drive technology developed by Seagate that was first widely used with DVRs and later introduced to personal computers with the Seagate Momentus 5400 FDE.2. This technology encrypts data on the hard drive and only allows it to be read by the device the drive was first installed into.
Because this technology is built onto the hard drive, computers can have these drives installed with no additional software or patches. These drives also have a feature allowing them to instantly erase, preventing any sensitive data being read when the drive is used in another computer.
