Hi Fajar, >From what I've read online, they seem to be using AES, but I can't confirm this as there seems to be no official acknowledgement on Seagate's website. But as the encryption is not hardware-based, the encryption's not really an selling point for the drive in this case imo. Also, the encryption software they offer is Windows-only.
If it was me I'd go for some vanilla hard drive which (possibly) wasn't charging a premium by including extras like encryptioin, because I've always found TrueCrypt to exceed OEM solutions.
