otoh if you want to encrypt every single disk-sector, you need one of those most recent drives, that do hw-encryption on the drive instead of the system. (btw, i've never seen them...)
I think the seagates I have been buying for some time (two years at least) have it. And not only seagates. A friend of mine activated that when deleting a disk using a windows program, and was stuck not even being able to partition the disk without having the password. The disk was unreadable.
And finally, what do you try to obtain? Data-lock-out after theft? Perhaps FDE is an overkill, as what is so secret about the system config?
Denial of use of the disk by the robber. Lost monney (for him). That would be reason enough for me even if the data is trivial. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
