Cliffdweller...re Hardware encryption...You're obviously correct. The intel Danburry technology should come out in Q1 09. Initially...as I understand it...will be confined to Desktops with plans to expand that tech to laptops. Interestingly...Seagate has announced plans to extend their FDE technology into their Barracuda line up which as you know is aimed at the desktop market.
The important point to keep in mind while considering the events of the last week....there is FINALLY a big push by the other Disk drive companies to come out with their versions of the FDEs. This is important because it signals to the market that HARDWARE ENCRYPTION is here to stay. Folks....Wave receives ~7 dollars per Seagate ENCRYPTED drive that is sold by Dell. In addition to this....Wave stands to potentially upgrade these sales further. An important note regarding FDE sales is that the MAJORITY of these sales are choosing to further upgrade thses devices.....FWIW

Sincerely,

Jas
