What took them so long? (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=storage&articleId=9126869&taxonomyId=19&intsrc=kc_top)

This is just going to cause some people headaches.

Hmm, useful for the military and CCTV recording. I'd rather have performance over encryption. I have nothing incriminating to hide.

:stupid:

[BuzzKillington]

It would be useful for more than just military. Think of all the businesses, banks, and people with tax documents. If you could encrypt a flash drive that would only work on your computer you'd be pretty well protected.

[The boy 4rm oz]

I can see your point but if they wanted encryption they would get high end encryption software over the drives. It would be cheaper in the long run for them and would be less of a hastle.

[BuzzKillington]

very true.

what happens when you forget your password? you have a nice hard drive shaped paperweight.

you have a nice hard drive shaped paperweight. hit the nail on the head, or you could collect them and make a
sculpture

or pull them apart and make hard drive wind chimes like they did on Make Magazne :D

and use the arms for a insect-style mod like the scorpion one :D

Or turn them into very bad speakers.

I LOVE the scorpion mod. very sweet :) I don't understand why companies produce such idiotic security measures. I bricked a perfectly good 250gb hard drive trying to lock it after creating a hdd for purposes that I won't say here because its a touchy subject ;)

weak too, had a lot of movies on it that I had either given away or sold. oh well, Netflix FTW!
