It didn't take Wave long to get the: "Hitachi and Seagate take one giant leap with laptop drive encryption" article from InfoWorld on their Web site! It's nice to get confirmation from InfoWorld that the Seagate/Wave FDE solution works as we were led to believe. I think that the message of "ease of use" or as they said:

"Activating the encryption on the Seagate drive was a breeze. From Windows I started Trusted Drive Manager, the friendly GUI from Wave Systems that makes activating encryption easy and intuitive."

As far as ERAS being useful:

"The Embassy suite also offers a feature for centralized, remote administration (though this was not activated on my system). This feature warrants consideration for organizations where many users need laptops with full-drive encryption."

Yes:

"To that effect, the Wave Systems security is a terrific help in managing encryption on the Seagate Momentus FDE.2, adding not only simplified management but access to some of the drive's otherwise inaccessible features, such as crypto-erasure and strong-password enforcement.

Managing encryption from the laptop BIOS is doable and grants data protection, but if you have more than just a few laptops to babysit, the management suite from Wave Systems can make life much easier."

I hope they give us an update on Dell/Seagate progress as fast!

Favorite technology: "I know it's a corny answer, but trust in the laptop and how it will change the world."

One quarter at a time!
