From knute's post:

"12. All SSD for the army will be Opal compliant. This was to be included in the current consolidated buy, but is now probably in the Sept. consolidated buy."

You know, I was actually wondering if we are the ones who think we know what we are talking about, but don't.

If even the army is not ready to demand use of OPAL-compliant drives, what hope in the rest of the government and in the commercial marketplace.

Perhaps the lack of demand really is eloquent of folks' conclusions about their needs.

To many, the price of hardware security seems to be too much loss of liberty.

Maybe insuring against losses continues to be the cheaper solution. You have to start drawing this kind of conclusion at some point.
