If FDE series of hard drives depend on computer BIOS for the preboot authentication, can they support EFI-based systems (such as Intel Macbooks or some EFI-only servers)?
Apart from the host system, the FDE disk commands are system- and OS-unaware, but they do depend on third-party software solutions to provide a user interface. As of today, the first software solutions implementing Seagate Secure technology are written for Windows XP, Vista and the traditional PC BIOS. Other than development time, there is nothing standing in the way of support for other platforms like Mac, Linux, embedded OS, with or without BIOS or EFI, etc.
