Though 128 bit seems a little light. Nice flash demo.

Just checked out a 1TB drive under $300, also 256GB SSD drive to be released this year. The times they are a changing.

Interesting though, I will read.

I'm often leery of consumer hardware solutions for things like crypto/firewall/RAID because it's so easy to just be fresh out of luck without any visibility to configure/PD the issue if the hardware borks somehow.

I'd be curious to see some metrics exploring this technology versus TrueCrypt.

Yeah, I figure the weakest link is the host system; harvesting the password from cache. Also, whiny end users forgetting their passwords and complaining enough to force them to produce a crack.
