I found this seemingly cool product, a pci-e hardware RNG that produces
a large stream of "truly random" "quantum" random numbers.

It is made in Switzerland, which is cool as it isn't outsourced and it
endeavors way more trust than chinese hardware.
I am curious

I am curious what the deal with this is, does it really work?
what is the use case for this? does anyone here have one?

Ah thank you.
What a shame.

Yes. But it misses the point.

Thanks again both.

If this is not your field of expertise the you should not call Intel's
solution junk.
It will not help with disks. What it helps with is
applications that need properly independent random numbers often. A VPN
server is such a case, it needs a few bits every time a client opens a
connection an

When we say entropy and random numbers, we generally mean completely
unpredictable.
Intel's RDRAND, ekey, presumably ID-Quantique's solution and others rely
for their entropy on quantum physics. If our understanding of quantum
physics is correct, then by constructing such and such
