    Is there anyone interested or used these secure mobile hdds? I have only been able to found spec for Seagate Momentus FDE and nowhere selling it.

    Is there any other company producing such thing?

    Hitachi website states here that 7K320 acts as SATA-I in encyrpted mode and Seagate does not have such statement. Should I assume that Seagate is better since it has a different product line (Momentus FDE) and Hitachi offers encyrption in a common drive?
