C-2 Hard Disk Encryption
IMPORTANT: If you lose the HDD key, your dealer or the computer
manufacturer will not be responsible for any loss of data. You will need
to re-format your hard disk and thereby, lose all your original data. For
customers’ special request of data saving, the computer manufacturer
may try to recover lost data with the special tool as customers’ duty
RMA. But there is no guarantee must be successful.
Enova X-Wall Q & A
Q: Entire disk drive? Not just 10 or 20GB as seen on other products?
A: X-Wall encrypts every thing on your disk drive including operating system. It
encrypts the entire volume of your disk drive such that if you have a 180GB hard
drive, the entire 180GB will be encrypted.
Q: Do I need to establish a separate “encrypted folder” under file
directory as required by some software solutions?
A: No. Every thing you write to the disk drive is automatically strongly encrypted.
There is no need to establish a separate “encrypted folder.”
Q: Can X-Wall LX work with all types of disk drives?
A: X-Wall LX can be operated with Ultra ATA (Ultra DMA) 100 compliant disk
driver in real-time with throughput of 1.6 Giga bit per second. X-Wall LX does
not work with SCSI or fiber-channel drives.
Q: Can X-Wall LX work with all types of operating systems?
A: The X-Wall LX requires no device drivers and is independent from all operating
systems. The only requirement is an Ultra ATA (Ultra DMA) compliant disk
drive.
Q: Do I need any training to use X-Wall LX?
A: No. The good news is that you don’t have to learn or manage anything. After
inserting the X-Wall Secure Key, everything will function as before with no loss
of performance and with no manual intervention.
Q: How does X-Wall LX compare with Smart Card and PCMCIA
encryption products?
A: X-Wall LX is dramatically faster than PCMCIA or Smart Card solutions, and
encrypts the entire hard drive instead of just selected files. There is no
possibility that any data or credentials can be left unprotected on the hard drive.
Drive locking and boot sector encryption solutions do not encrypt the data, and
thus it is vulnerable to attack.
Q: Can I encrypt two hard disk drives via a single X-Wall LX?
A: No. X-Wall LX is designed to protect only one disk drive.
Q: Does X-Wall LX support 48-bit LBA addressing?
A: Yes. X-Wall LX supports 48-bit addressing and can control disk volume over
than 137GB per drive.
Q: What is “DES/TDES”?
