    ABIT mainboard with SecureIDE

    SecureIDE?

    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.

    You have to give 'em points for creativity, but I wonder how long this will last in the face of a Federal demand that a back door access be fit on each one?

    In this country the owner would have to supply the key I believe. If he/she doesn't it's off to jail even if you forget it.

        I doubt a federal government order matters much to a company based in Taiwan.

              Yeah SecureIDE will be fun if you lock yourself out from accessing your HDD when the mobo brakes ...

                  I guess that's one way for ABIT to assure customer "loyalty"

                      LOL.

                      Think the encryption would slow things down any?

                        If it's really all done in hardware? No.

                        Will it all be done in hardware? HAHAHAHA... no.

                        So will it slow you down? Yes.

                          The only way that SecureIDE would keep the RIAA out is if they remove your hard drive from your abit board and then try to read the contents of it. Its all a gimmick.

                            Even if it was all done in hardware, it would slow down things, albeit probably just by a few ns.
