三月，希捷，ASI计算机技术和波浪系统宣布他们创建了一个带有本机硬盘加密的笔记本（C8015）。如果笔记本丢失或被盗，则不担心 - 数据在硬盘驱动器上加密，并且没有用户在没有用户的密码的情况下访问数据（无后门，恢复工具或可用于检索它的服务）。几周前，希捷寄给我C8015，包括15.4英寸宽屏显示器，希捷势头5400 FDE.2硬盘驱动器（80GB），英特尔T7200核心2处理器，1GB的DDR2 667内存，一个NVIDIA Geforce Go7600图形卡具有256MB的视频RAM，DVD-RW光驱和英特尔802.11ABG无线连接。使用Windows XP Pro的这种配置将花费大约2,150美元。2.5英寸势头5400 FDE.2硬盘使用希捷的动机技术，C8015还配备了Wave System的大使馆安全中心值得信赖的驱动器管理器软件，有助于配置和设置加密驱动器，并提供密码管理和设置密码管理策略设置。希捷表示，FDE技术和本机硬盘加密为典型的软件加密程序提供更多优势，主要是在系统性能，成本和“用户友好”的竞技场中。通过软件加密数据的一部分是系统性能的拖动，Seagate表示性能不受加密硬盘驱动器的影响。配置系统以启用硬盘驱动器加密需要几分钟 - 软件明确表示在选择密码访问系统后，没有后门，没有恢复工具，无处可发送驱动器以获取数据恢复。 If users lose or forget their password and an IT manager hasn't recorded it somewhere, there's no way to retrieve it. Knowing this, the configuration process makes it crystal clear for users to back up the password onto a removable USB drive or other location (like a network drive or removable media), although we found it odd that the backed-up password would be in plaintext on the USB drive. After configuring the official password for the system, a login screen appears before going into the Windows boot-up procedure. Even trying to use a bootable CD that bypasses Windows won't work here in terms of getting access to the drive – Seagate says that only 134MB of disk space is visible through this method. One odd part – when we did some Windows updates (security patches, etc.) and then restarted the system, the system's login screen didn't appear – it went right back into Windows. Only when we shut down the notebook completely would we get sent back to the original login screen. While we assume most users are shutting down their systems from time to time, Windows resets (and possibly "standby" or "sleep mode") don't bring you back to the protected login area. Another odd thing is trying to "secure" one of these notebooks for purchase. The notebook is currently only available from Powernotebooks.com, labeled as the Power Pro L815 (看这里）。随着对本机硬盘加密的需求增加，我们希望一些主要的PC制造商将开始提供自己的型号。
