Samsung First To Add Full Disk Encryption to SSDs

As SSD are becoming more popular, they face the same challenges than their mechanical counterparts when it comes to security. When a laptop is stolen, the data on the disk if often more important than the computer itself. That’s why Samsung is adding a full disk, hardware encryption on upcoming 256, 128 and 64GB SSDs. Samsung says that performance won’t be impacted (that is more likely to be the case with software encryption). These drives are aimed at the business market.
