My Hard Drive is 7200 rpm with disk encryption? So how do I use this disk encrpytion? Can I set the password for my Hard Drive? And How do know if it is 7200 rpm?

Thanks for your help.

Who is the manufacturer of your hard drive and what is the model number?

Your Hitachi hard drive is definitely a 7200rpm version - As for Hitachi's Bulk Data Encryption only certain drives support it (HTS722020K9SA00 0A53070) - This link also answers some questions on Bulk Data Encryption.
