Hitachi Disk Drive reference card

Geez, if the below bold is true, they only have
about 50 different 2.5 disk drive sku numbers. ka-ching!

Hard Drive Bulk Data Encryption
Today, users are able to protect their hard drive with
password security which prevents access to the drive
but does not encrypt the data itself. With the rise in
notebook theft and the relative ease in which
software-based password security can be
compromised, Hitachi is responding with a hard-drivelevel
encryption solution that is virtually impenetrable.
In addition, Hitachi's introduction of full data
encryption at the hardware level, allows data security
to be carried out with little to no impact to system
speed. Hitachi's version of hard-drive-level data
encryption scrambles data using a passwordgenerated
key as it is being written to the disk and
then descrambled with the key as it is retrieved.
Hitachi's data encryption technology will be offered as
a new feature on all new 2.5-inch hard drives shipped
in 2007 and beyond. Notebook manufacturers and
other customers will have the choice of whether to
implement this feature on their systems.
