ZZT-Bone RE: Seagate/Dell
I think everyone hear would have liked an announcement on June 8th and that would have been very, very soon. The Seagate CEO just came out of the wood work a few days ago in CNET article and said, "Clearly, something must be done before one of these breaches bankrupts a company or threatens national security." He basically beat up on software encryption and the tone of the article was as if Seagate (or full-disc-encryption) is coming to help fix the problem. I'd say that is a pretty good sign!
In a June Seagate article that helpfulbacteria posted there was this: Such devices, encrypting disk drives, are now being mass-produced after a period of sampling. Manufacturers are deploying them by large numbers in laptops, desktop PCs, data-center applications, portable media players, and TV broadcast video recorders.
Movement has begun IMO.
One other thing to think about: SKS had this to say in the 1st quarter cc, "I think we'll see the beginning of any volume that comes from the market in Q3 and Q4." From this statement it doesn't sound like Dell/Seagate in the 2nd quarter.
Just like most everyone out here I remain AWW as well.
