NOTE
Previous generations of Seagate Self-Encrypting Drive models were called Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
models before a differentiation between drive-based encryption and other forms of encryption was necessary.
NOTE
The Self-Encrypting Drive models indicated on the cover of this product manual have provisions for “Security of Data
at Rest” based on the standards defined by the Trusted Computing Group (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org).
NOTE
For improved reliability, Seagate SSHDs incorporate a technique referred to as ‘Combo Mode',
utilizing proprietary controls to reduce the number of bits stored to a portion of the NAND Flash.
