Has anyone played with the Momentus FDE drive? or alternatives?
I just finished installing the Embassy 'trust suite' that Dell offers
with these drives but it seems a little complex for most users. I also
notice that it looks like we will need to pay if we wish to take
advantage of the Trusted Drive Manager component.

Ideally what I want for our users is a simple token based one time
swipe/input/insert component that if bypassed bricks the system.

Has anyone played with something similar? Am I missing the point of
these FDE drives?

Any input is quite welcome.

Thanks.
