Storage vendor Seagate announced today that it plans to offer disk drives incorporating its DriveTrust full disk encryption technology, a hardware-based security system which scrambles all data and software stored on a hard drive and, in theory, makes it impossible for unauthenticated users to read or start up from the drive. And naturally, Seagate is targeting notebooks and other frequently stolen portable devices with its first DriveTrust-enabled Momentus 2.5-inch hard drives, and is initially aiming the technology at enterprise and government organizations where data security is an ever-growing concern.
