00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.319
whether it's for personal files or for business security there are lots of

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

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:14.960
you everything you need to know about self encrypting AES 256-bit drives as

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:20.320
fast as possible so first of all how secure is aes256 encryption well it

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:25.599
takes your plain text password and resc scrambles it 14 times to create an

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:30.320
encrypted password that would take the equivalent of millions of years to break

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:36.040
through using a top five 00 supercomputer with no pre-existing

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.719
knowledge of any part of your password

00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:41.840
one of the tricky things can be making sure that your platform supports self-

00:00:39.879 --> 00:00:46.160
encrypting drives so many business notebooks for example do but the only

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:49.680
way to know for sure is check with your Hardware manufacturer and make sure that

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

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:59.079
self- encrypting Drive plug it into your system set up the disk password or hard

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.280
drive password and now all that information is stored on the drive

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:06.240
itself so even if someone takes the drive out of your computer puts it into

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:10.759
a separate computer and tries to read any data off of it they must enter the

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.280
password in order to get access to your files as with any password creation

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.320
process make sure you're using a mixture of Alpha Characters numeric characters

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:24.040
and special characters and don't use anything obvious like a birthday or a

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:27.759
spouse's name or anything that someone with pre-existing knowledge of you would

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

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:36.320
the BIOS level you can't get into the dis at all without the encryption

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:39.960
password however there are software-based options if you don't have

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.560
a platform that supports the encrypted drive or you don't have an encrypted

00:01:41.399 --> 00:01:46.119
Drive using programs such as true Crypt
