Abit "Secure IDE"...

I just saw this posted on fark.com.

"For MAX3, the ABIT Engineers listened to users who were asking for information security. SecureIDE connects to your IDE hard disk and has a special decoder; without a special key, your hard disk cannot be opened by anyone. Thus hackers and would be information thieves cannot access your hard disk, even if they remove it from your PC. Protect your privacy and keep anyone from snooping into your information. Lock down your hard disk, not with a password, but with encryption. A password can be cracked by software in a few hours. ABIT's SecureIDE will keep government supercomputers busy for weeks and will keep the RIAA away from your Kazaa files."

>will keep the RIAA away from your Kazaa files

well not really, again if the riaa wants your disk they'll just seek a court order requesting your key as well, failure to give the passwords to encrypted files or a "dongle" in this case the judge will put you in jail to think about it untill you cough it up. It's a non issue. I think the real issue here is security in case you want to prevent access or your HD gets stolen or something. I could see this being very usefull for laptops for example.
