Secure Systems have a hardware solution called a Silicon Data
Vault(SDV). Laptop version is an encrypted hard drive, desktop version
is an expansion card that sits between the hard drive and the motherboard.

I have no detailed knowledge of Safe Boot or  the SDV so I don't know
how they compare, but I do know that the SDV does full disk encryption.

Anyone know how these two compare?

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to encrypt the hard drives which contain confidential info. Ideally, this tool would be 
transparent and usable on all the drives on the computer/laptop  (from c: to z:). Ideally it would be easy to set up 
and manage, not a problem if the tool is not free. Any experience on this? What algorithm(s) does it use? 
Another option would be to use external encrypted drives to store the info. What are the options here?

I am looking for some background information, to short-list all the options. 

Thanks for the help!
