This line tells me more than I might have hoped for
"the fact that all the drives Hitachi ships from 2007 onwards will feature hardware-level encryption as a standard feature"
All drives implies all laptops that include Hitachi will have TPM's. This must be an overestimation as Seagate plans on selling both FDE and non-FDE drives in 2007. But if Seagate is good for 7 million FDE's and if 100% of Hitachi does similar numbers, the ETDM sales could add up to $200,000,000 alone in 2007. Not including seat upgrades.
