The Maxtor BlackArmor external USB drive and the Seagate Momentus FDE SATA drive are very closely associated. The Momentus FDE.2 is used by BlackArmor. Therefore the encryption standard is AES-128. The Security News and Events page on our website has several press releases, but does not include these two which have useful information. The NIST certification speaks to this adherence question.
