rooster1: Hitachi-Seagate review...

A couple of screen snapshots. The article was edited in itworldcanada.com ( http://tinyurl.com/26tsmn }



awk, Thanks! Excerpts from the article.
...
The laptop came preinstalled with Windows XP and the Embassy Security Center, a suite of applications from Wave Systems that simplifies managing the security features of the hard drive and of the whole system.
...

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.
...
After being spoiled by the broad set of features of the Embassy suite, I had only the streamlined BIOS screens to get the encryption going on the Hitachi drive.
...
Obviously, your password should not be easy to guess. Appropriately, using the Embassy Security Center, you can set the system to enforce strong user passwords, flexibility that's missing if you set the password via BIOS.
...
With that in mind, getting a laptop with full-drive encryption should be a no-brainer. A handful of dollars is a small premium for insurance against possibly disruptive damage. Easy management such as what the Embassy suite offers will add to that priceless peace of mind.
