Re: Full disk encryption from disk drive manufacturers?

I don't know if you've heard of techdata, but my advice would be to try finding a small independent shop that has a 
techdata account and see if they can special order it.  I don't know why Dell wouldn't do that for you, but I'm certain 
techdata has to, of all people, be able to have those drives available for purchase.  Cdw should also be able to do 
this, but, again, they're no different than their ordering capabilities than Dell.  I just find this whole thing weird.

I have been trying to locate an FDE.2 Drive since the beginning of Aug 07 ...
all your posts are places I have checked and spoken with representatives at
...

NONE OF THEM CARRY THESE DRIVES

They all show them on their sites, but no one has them ..
or ever had them from what I can tell.

I HAVE CONTACTED THEM ALL, have any of you really tried to buy one of these?
or have you all just seen them on sites and assume they are available?

BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT THAT NO ONE LISTED ON THIS FORUM POSTING
HAS THEM

I read everything ... they were supposed to be out by now.  I was told they
are only available OEM, but when I contacted Dell that was supposed to have
them for systems they sell, they say they are not available.

So, I would like to hear from someone that REALLY HAS bought one of these
please.  Where do you get them?
