Hey Craig this is very interesting. Anything that will make securing data on systems very easy or even fool proof so that accicdents like the Veterans Affairs had has to be good.

I wonder about the key that would be used for encryption though. Is it something that is entered on boot up? I wasn't able to geet much from the segate site.
