Ispro, correct it would make no sense at all.

Wave's Trusted Drive Manager is integrated into the Embassy Security Center to activate the hardware-based full disk encryption features of Seagate Momentus 5400 FDE.2 Trusted Drives. Seagate Trusted Drives are laptop hard drives with an on-board security controller and embedded capabilities for media-speed full disk encryption and pre-boot authentication. Trusted Drives with security activated using the Trusted Drive Manager protect against data loss due to a lost or stolen PC. The Trusted Drive Manager software activates the security that distinguishes a Trusted Drive from a standard hard drive.
