Encryption Option  
Travelstar 5K500.B features optional Bulk Data Encryption (BDE) for hard-drive-level  
data security. With BDE, the data is scrambled using a key as it is written to the disk then  
descrambled with the key as it is retrieved, giving users the highest level of data protection  
available. It also speeds and simplifies the drive re-deployment process. By deleting the  
encryption key, the data is rendered unreadable, thereby eliminating the need for time-  
consuming data-overwrite.  
Small form factor video devices  
Blade servers (EA)  
Network routers (EA)  
Video surveillance (EA)
