== Wrong assumption ==

Line 14 ⟶ 18:

So, in my opinion, the article could use some small corrections on the actual reliability of SEDs and the sanitization. At the moment it looks a little like a presentation by a product manager, trying to convince companies to subscribe to their SED transition cycle offer. The information are good, just not as accurate (in terms of exhaustivity) as they could be. --[[Special:Contributions/164.177.113.225|164.177.113.225]] ([[User talk:164.177.113.225|talk]]) 12:36, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I modified this section. Hopefully these comments can now be removed (as no longer current)? [[User:RobThinks|RobThinks]] ([[User talk:RobThinks|talk]]) 16:28, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

== Bad article ==

Line 52 ⟶ 58:

I'm too lazy to add anything-- here is a paper talking about defeating FDE while a machine is suspended or rebooted, and why:

Line 68 ⟶ 74:

::Agreed. The real problem with hardware encryption is that it's difficult to verify the crypto implementation (for backdoors and other weaknesses) and manufacturers have a track record of getting it wrong.

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on [[Hardware-based full disk encryption]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=807798307 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:

*Added archive https://www.webcitation.org/65fUDqdql?url=http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/solutions/data_protection to http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/solutions/data_protection

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

== Remove disk manufactures ==

As it is now, this article needs to be updated whenever a manufacturer change what it's disk support.

I suggest to leave manufacturers out everywhere where it is not required (perhaps only a single manufacturer support something), and then at the end include a section with links to the major disk manufacturers page about how they handle disk encryption.

Also, there's a lot assumptions that everyone know all these abbreviations...always write the whole term the first time and with the abbreviation in parentheses after the term, then the term can be used in the rest of the article. If the term is not extremely well known, it should be briefly explained. At the very least it should be made clear if it is a technology, a company, a standard or something else. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.55.110.220|84.55.110.220]] ([[User talk:84.55.110.220#top|talk]]) 06:03, 11 June 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Merge from [[Disk encryption hardware]] ==

I don't think we need this article about the feature and a separate article about the hardware that implements it. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 19:12, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

:'''Support''' the merger; the two titles seem synonymous. Between [[Disk encryption]], [[Disk encryption hardware]], and [[Disk encryption software]], we will have plenty of pages to cover disk encryption.

I disagree - Software Encryption is totally different from Hardware Encryption.n.b. I merged this article with Disk encryption hardware in 2011 [[User:RobThinks|RobThinks]] ([[User talk:RobThinks|talk]]) 19:58, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

== Removal of Article's Issues - at top of page ==

A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (May 2017)

I believe this issue is misguided as the other extreme is a major contributor appears to know nothing about the subject! So if there are no objections I plan to remove it soon - [[User:RobThinks|RobThinks]] ([[User talk:RobThinks|talk]]) 22:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC).
