[PC Performance Clinic Blog] Hardware-based encryption to increase storage security: However according to Eric Orgen the analyst at the research firm in The Ogren Group, there are some state laws like in Massachusetts and Nevada for mandating full disk encryption on notebooks which contain consumer data. Therefore for this single reason corporations should understand the endpoint crypto abilities already available in simple tools like the Windows BitLocker.

[Update-PC-Drivers Blog] Full-disk encryption for all computer drives: When you are using a single and full disk encryption specification all the drive manufacturers can break your security to firmware of their products while even lower the cost of production and increase the efficiency of security technologies. When an application or an operating system writes data to its self encrypting drive a bottleneck is not created by any software which might have to interrupt the I/O stream and convert your data so that the user can see the encrypted data at I/O speed without any slowdown.

[Inside IT Storage] Diving into “MTBF” and “AFR”: Storage Reliability Specs Explained ...: The MTBF estimated in the airplane example and implied by the calculation method described in the previous generation Cheetah product manual inherently assumes a statistically constant failure rate.  Though commonly used, Seagate finds that such an assumption is not generally true for disc drives and therefore use of the term MTBF can again be confusing.  We prefer Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) as a reliability metric as a result but include MTBF in enterprise product literature for historical reference.
