SED's are pretty sweet, especially if you are concerned with physical security and the risk of someone getting a hold of a drive(s) and trying to extract data from them.

One other side note, if you do use them, be sure to keep the drive firmware updated as well, and always run the same firmware version on each drive. Don't ask how I know that... :-)
