Is the Dell Data Safe Hardrive worth it?

unknown0 · 05-02-2006, 11:13 PM

I was customizing my Dell XPS 400, and I was trying to keep the cost below $1500, but there's an option to put in the PC a Data Safe hardrive. Is it worth it? Or should I stick to the regular hardrives?

Here's the link:

Just scroll down to choose a hardrive and choose "learn more", and it will explain about the Data Safe function.
