Easily Manage Drives
and Data Security
You can do drive management the hard way or the easy way—but you
have to do it.
Drives come to the end of their useful life and have to be destroyed.
Or they require long-term storage. Or they have to be returned for repairs.
Or degaussed. Or used for a new purpose. Or sold on eBay. Or—
You get the idea. Managed.
Drive management is a big headache for IT departments and a big potential
source of data security breaches. As it's usually practiced, drive management
involves many steps and many people. It can be costly, prone to human errors
and hard to audit. You may have strict data management policies, but they
can be difficult to enforce and can inhibit employee productivity.
That's data management the hard way. Fortunately there is also an easy way:
self-encrypting hard drives.
The beauty of self-encrypting drives is that the data on them is scrambled and
impossible to access without proper authentication. Thus no matter who gets
hold of them, the data is unavailable—secure.
Remember, when we talk about drive management, we're not only talking
about an IT headache. At a deeper level we're talking about data security.
If you didn't care who saw the data on your drives, you wouldn't need drive
management policies, other than for theft prevention. But so much data these
days is sensitive for so many different reasons that data security is essential.
The problem is that all digital data is created and stored at some point in time
on a hard drive that will eventually leave your control.
Without designed-in, hardware-based security at the core of where all digital
data lives, you can never truly be digitally secure.
Seagate provides that designed-in, hardware-based security in its self-
encrypting hard drives for laptop PCs. The Seagate
