Hello There!

Well for many of us who have been using computers for the past years, we don’t need a Genius in Technology to explain the evolution in personal data storage; When i was still in School my first home PC used to have a hard disk of 420 MB of space and i was like the COOLest guy in School (among the Geeks who didn’t get dates :P) and that was even less than 1 CD ROM… So now with the Evolution of Storage we talk in GIGABYTES (1000s of Megabytes) of storage or even TERABYTES (1000s of Gigabytes) of information! and relatively the external devices that can store Gigabytes of information can be very very small… so they are easy to LOSE!

SO… having said that, now you can store a whole load of excel sheets, documents and files from your company on a USB Key and if you lost it and it falls into the wrong hands.. it can be seriously BAD… so you need to learn more about how Windows 7 can help you in that!

BitLocker drive encryption functionality in Windows 7 delivers an improved experience for IT professionals and end users, including the ability to right-click on a drive to enable BitLocker protection, automatic creation of the required hidden boot partition, and improved key management.

Windows 7 also introduces BitLocker To Go, which provides data protection for removable storage devices such as USB flash drives. BitLocker To Go gives IT professionals better control over how removable storage devices can be used. For example, IT Professionals can require data protection for writing to any removable storage device while allowing unprotected storage devices to be used in a read-only mode.
