Fujitsu Computer Products of America has announces ots MHZ2 CJ series of 2.5-inch hard disk drives for notebook computers, offering full disk encryption technology (FDE) to protect private and confidential data in the event the notebooks are lost or stolen. The drives support the AES-256 encruption standard in hardware, ensuring encryption key’s never exist in a computer main memory—and, hence, can’t be discovered by would-be data thieves. Users enter a password when the drive is powered on, at which point the drive cryptographically regenerates the encryption key and uses it to read and write data on the drive with no impact on performance.
