Yes, but will it work on my UltraSparc? How about my PPC powermac? Or maybe my OpenBSD laptop? What's that - I have to use some opaque mechanism to key my drive? Pass. And how do I know that the drive didn't just store a copy of my encryption key in NVRAM somewhere which can be retrieved by reading some magic sequence of negative sectors? And what about a zillion other paranoid but reasonable concerns?
