What is the end user experience with an FDE drive?

New, out of the box, FDE drives boot the same way as generic disc drives, allowing partitioning, formatting and OS installation – including complex multi-OS boot selectors. It is possible for a FDE drive to operate with security turned off for its entire use. Simple ATA Security drive passwords can be set in the system BIOS setup. These plain passwords operate the same on FDE drives as they do on ordinary drives.
