I, too, am skeptical of any encrypted drive with a software driver. There is an alternative. I have used Apricorn Aegis Padlock. The key is entered on a keypad on the disk itself. No software needed. Workds for Windows, Max, Linux. AES encryption. 10 different passwords, and an account manager - built into the disk itself. If you forget the master password, you can reset it, and say goodbye to the data as well. Practical. http://www.apricorn.com/product_detail.php?type=family&id=58 $189 for 640GB w/AES-256, Save $20 if you will settle for AES-128. If you want a secure portable SSD, that's $779 for 256GB. The only problem I had was when I powered it with a single USB cable., They provide a Y-cable to get juice from two USB ports. Works. I think the new IronKey has a Linux driver. But that's not a disk, just flash. They do have their heads screwed on right. That would be my second choice.
