Disk Encryption hard disk drive and Encryption solid-state drive
Some models contain the Disk Encryption hard disk drive or Encryption solid-state drive. This feature
helps to protect your computer against security attacks on media, NAND flash or device controllers by use
of a hardware encryption chip. For the efficient use of the encryption feature, be sure to set a hard disk
password for the internal storage device.
