I didn't buy Wave with the idea that we needed FDE harddrives either, but that is where we now are, like it or not!

When I first bought Wave, FDE harddrives were just a twinkle in Dr. Thibideau's eyes. I'm happy that they are now available and they just might be Waves' salvation. If it takes a couple large public class-action lawsuits, so be it. One way or another, those who are responsible for protecting our personal information will be forced to do just that, and at the moment Seagate seems to be the best candidate to accomplish it!

cosign - I too am waiting on the SP to move and if a lawsuit helps move companies in the direction of TC then that is a good thing. Corporations and government entities have so many technology solutions for all their needs it can be difficult to chart a path. Security is now mainstream in the media, constant news articles on breaches, lost data, etc. I was glad to see the recent post regarding the cost per lost record. While it is hard to quantify the total costs we can begin to quantify hard dollar costs to a company that has lost data. It's difficult to sell the intangible costs, reputation, future loss of sales, etc. As one manager once asked me, "where is the account with his avoided lost dollars?"

But all CIOs need to know there is a safe and simple vaccine for this disease that affects DAR, networks access. And this disease can cause other ills such as lawsuits, loss of customers, loss of reputation, etc that ends up on the AP wire. All good things, IMHO.

Ciao!
