looks totally cool
Do you mean the aesthetics ?
no the idea of protecting the inside from tampering, with special casework that has micro-circuit tracks in it.
It's an Intel CPU. You get ME, SMM, signed boot under Intel control, etc. They even have a section "Why Intel? Isn’t x86 Considered Harmful?" which basically says: "yes, it's harmful, but everybody uses it and there's nothing else we can do". And the "open source" section basically says "as open source as we can". The microcontroller specialised in security does not have public datasheets.
yehh and i talked this over with someone and they said, "can we trust the SSD firmware?"
i answered, "probably not... but we did learn i believe a few years ago that the A20 can do client-side SATA, so it *might* be possible to make an SSD out of it... :) "
