Hi, I got this drive. I make sure it's the one with encryption so my data will be better protected. This thing is also cross-platform so I think this is just what i need... NOT.

After I initialized the drive with FAT32 (the default and the only option) and copied some files into the 80GB partition, I couldn't copy any files back to the same Mac, let alone another PC/Mac. At the beginning of the trasfer, the progress bar popped up but didn't show any 'progress'. The drive seemed to stuck at ZERO byte forever. I had to unplug the USB connector before Tiger returned control to me.
FYI, the drive has been initialized and probably went through some type of hardware encryption engine to protect data using DES or Triple-DES. I tried both, but neither worked. The product page above has more.
I truely have no idea why this might happen. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
