Having the encryption/decryption on the drive also provides the highest level of security for data because all data, including the boot sector bytes, operating system, temp and even the swap files are encrypted at the drive level.

1.2.1Drive state upon shipment

Upon shipment from the Seagate factory, the ATA Security Interface is enabled and functioning. This is referred to as operating in ATA Security mode. The following is the detailed state of the drive upon shipment.

•Full Disc Encryption is active and functioning. All user data is encrypted on write and decrypted on read.

•The user interface to the drive is active and all read and write commands are allowed.

•The ATA user password is null (no value).

•The ATA master password is set to the Security ID (SID).

•ATA Security is set to the unlocked state. No password is required to access the drive.

Momentus 5400 FDE.3 SATA drives may be integrated into the computer system in the same way you would integrate a non-FDE Momentus drive.

The encryption key is enabled and operational when the drive leaves the Seagate factory. No user id is required to access the drive, so the data on the drive is accessible to anyone possessing the drive.
