There are certain Seagate Momentus disks that do AES encryption in
hardware. This means that they use an AES key to encrypt the data, and
you need a ("BIOS"-)password to unlock this key at boot. So whenever you
change the password, it's just that - the AES key stays the same. You

As your disk is probably not 'open source' (?), you don't
know if there is a really encryption, or if there is a secret
password (as for some bios) that permits to access data.
thats exactly what i fear about. it is even possible that there are no
encryption at all.
Keep in memory that, wha
Many today SSD and some magnetic disks have AES-128/256 encryption
builtin.
If BIOS supports it, it ask for password then send it to hard disk after
which it decodes it's AES key so it start to work.
No software crypto overhead, everything fine.
