Does anyone know anything about the encryption stuff on it? In particular: 1) How can I tell if it is using encryption? 2) How can I set the encryption key on the drive? I guess my biggest worry would be running a drive which I believed wasn't encrypting and then only find out when I replace the drive that it was encrypted; with some default key I didn't know. However it would be nice to run with encryption if I could then store that key in a few nice secure places. Suggestions welcome.
