Self-encrypting disk drive
Seagate is adding a self-encrypting capability to its Cheetah 15K disk drive based on a specification of the Trusted Computing Group.
The TCG Storage Architecture Core Specification 1.0 defines a way that storage system drives will recognise encryption and decryption security commands and authorisation requests, says Gianna DaGiau, Seagate's senior product marketing manager.
The functionality will be added later this year.
