Seagate is the only company that offers FDE on notebook computers, at this point in time. A P-ATA version has been available since last year. The faster S-ATA version will be available in the March-May timeframe. We are signing up channels now. Be sure you get the version that has strong authentication software. Some OEM's will be offering it with a BIOS password which, in my opinion, defeats the purpose of an FDE drive.
