A combination of a bios/uefi boot password and a hard drive ata drive password does work.
The ata drive password keeps the drive from working except in the computer it is paired to. The bios/uefi boot password prevents the bios from activating the drive.
I have seen that done in the real world, but encryption is much more common solution.
Doesn't it require support from the BIOS, to prompt for the password on each boot? I have not seen anybody using this method, with Linux (on boot/system disk). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
