Thanks for that link. I was struck even more by these paragraphs. Especially, the comment in the channel magazine about this being distributed in a new way -- not through OEMs (Dell). I hope that offers the possibility of a "time to get moving" notice to our up to now almost invisible channel partners to make some money selling the Wave package while they build and bundle. ================================================================ The new drives also include the first hard-drive-based encryption feature in the channel, Worth said. Earlier releases of self-encrypting hard drives were shipped specifically to Seagate's OEM customers, she said.
That self-encryption capability allows solution providers and system builders to sell servers with the ability to prevent someone from grabbing data from a stolen server, Worth said. "If someone breaks into a company and steals a server, the loss of the data could ruin a small business," she said.
The capability also allows data to be easily erased so that a drive can be reused or sold via channels such as eBay (NSDQ:EBAY) without worrying about the data on the drives being stolen, Worth said.
IMO, in a more logical work, this announcement should move us through the 40,000 or so share block at 1.10 - 1.13 and even the block at 1.25, but I guess too many folks are still afraid of a pp in our future under a dollar.
