VH, all is well, and the best to you to. I don't think we've heard the end of this. On their last CC, the Seagate CEO stated that the Fed (he did not specify which area)had been trying to break into the FDE drive for 6months-year, with no luck. He than qualified something to the effect that if you had a bunch of mainframes going at it 24/7 for a year...than only a slight maybe.
Anyway, his point was that it was unhackable. And certainly unbreakable to the degree that there was any practicality in trying to break into a hard drive FDE.
Software FDE has just been proven to be breakable in 10minutes with a can of compressed air, and some technilogical savy.
I think we will see a response from Seagate/Dell clarifying some of this. We've had SKS quoted in these articles, you'd think at some point Seagates PR team will get in the press
and clarify the difference and mainly characterize the difference between SOFTWARE FDE and HARDWARE FDE.
THEM: A can of compressed air and 10 minutes can break software FDE.
US: The Fed has been trying to break FDE for 6 months using 'x' number mainframes 24/7 no luck.
