00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,319
whether it's for personal files or for business security there are lots of

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,360
reasons why you would want the data on a drive to be secure we're going to tell

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:14,960
you everything you need to know about self encrypting AES 256-bit drives as

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:20,320
fast as possible so first of all how secure is aes256 encryption well it

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:25,599
takes your plain text password and resc scrambles it 14 times to create an

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:30,320
encrypted password that would take the equivalent of millions of years to break

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:36,040
through using a top five 00 supercomputer with no pre-existing

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,719
knowledge of any part of your password

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,840
one of the tricky things can be making sure that your platform supports self-

10
00:00:39,879 --> 00:00:46,160
encrypting drives so many business notebooks for example do but the only

11
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:49,680
way to know for sure is check with your Hardware manufacturer and make sure that

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,520
it's supported once you know it's supported all you have to do is take a

13
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:59,079
self- encrypting Drive plug it into your system set up the disk password or hard

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,280
drive password and now all that information is stored on the drive

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,240
itself so even if someone takes the drive out of your computer puts it into

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,759
a separate computer and tries to read any data off of it they must enter the

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,280
password in order to get access to your files as with any password creation

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,320
process make sure you're using a mixture of Alpha Characters numeric characters

19
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:24,040
and special characters and don't use anything obvious like a birthday or a

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,759
spouse's name or anything that someone with pre-existing knowledge of you would

21
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:31,920
be likely to guess so the advantage of a self- encrypting Drive is it's at the

22
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,320
the BIOS level you can't get into the dis at all without the encryption

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,960
password however there are software-based options if you don't have

24
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,560
a platform that supports the encrypted drive or you don't have an encrypted

25
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:46,119
Drive using programs such as true Crypt
