I would love to have some FDE hardware drives, but the hour I spent
at the
Seagate website didn't tell me how the key was established. Can I
just buy
such a drive and install it in a white-box computer and have it work?
WIthout any evidence on the website to the contrary, I just assumed
the
drive came with a windows driver for setting the key, and that a
special
motherboard with a tpm circuit was required for the driver to work.
If that isn't the case, it makes the drives much more attractive. Are
there instructions somewhere on the net? This would be of interest
to us
for both Windows and Linux.
My understanding is that the command set for the FDE is not available
without signing an NDA. I do not know of any open source
implementations. I would love to hear something to the contrary.
