Possibly there are 'other' protections in place such as a physical device that makes it obvious whether or not the hard drive has been tampered with or BIOS logging that details whether any harddrive protection such as native HDD encryption has been bypassed.

I'm not saying this notebook had any of these protections, just it is a possibility.

From our perspective, we really can't judge the HDD security until we have information of all security measures in place. It is easy to assume it is no more secure then notebooks that we are familiar with.
