'''Hardware-based full disk encryption''' ('''FDE''') is available from many [[hard disk drive]] (HDD/[[Solid-state drive|SSD]]) vendors, including: [[Hitachi]], Integral Memory, iStorage Limited, [[Micron Technology|Micron]], [[Seagate Technology]], [[Samsung]], [[Toshiba]], [[ViaSat|Viasat UK]], [[Western Digital]], [[Micron Technology|Micron]], [[OCZ Storage Solutions|OCZ]], [[SanDisk]], [[Samsung]], Integral Memory and USB vendors such as [[Yubikey]] or iStorage Limited. The [[symmetric-key algorithm|symmetric encryption key]] is maintained independently from the computer's [[Central processing unit|CPU]], thus allowing the complete data store to be encrypted and removing computer memory as a potential attack vector.
 
Hardware-FDE has two major components: the hardware encryptor and the data store.
