Can you encrypt this device with a third party program such as Truecrypt? How would a program like Truecrypt interact with the standard encryption and password protection on this EHD?

WD's SmartWare can activate 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption in the drive controller (overview of the drive on WD's site) Installing 3rd party software based encryption will work the same as a non-hardware encryption external drive and if you use both, the data will be double encrypted and require two passwords to decrypt.

I am sorry I do not know the ans. I suggest that you contact WD for that information.

I have been unable to identify the type of encryption. We have installed both the standalone sensor for a genie garage door opener as well as the Internet Gateway for a Chamberlain garage door opener. Both work flawlessly with our android devices. I would assume that the security would depend on the level of security set at your router level, since they communicate via WiFi. Great product. We highly recommend this product.

Hi.The entire contents is encrypted. There is a tiny partition that contains the software to handle the password entry to unlock the encrypted partition, but once unlocked, you only deal with the encrypted partition, which is basically the entire capacity of the device.

Thank you for the prompt reply, William. I appreciate it.What you had to say was very encouraging, but I'm still confused about one thing. Your message read as though you use the flash drive WITHOUT using the U3 software. I didn't even know that was an option. However, because I encrypted my present Sandisk flash drive by choosing a password, I can't be sure. So, are you saying that this SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive comes with U3 security software, but that you simply just never chose a password?

I have one of these and there is no security software included. It is just a raw storage device.

Not that I know of. So I just wrote a list of my passwords on a piece of paper and put the paper in my safe. No plugs or USB slots to use on the device to do any of those things you mentioned. Sorry but I do love mine for I just leave it out on the counter at all times and when needed I just pick it up and check out my passwords without the worry of anyone ever getting any access to them.

A person could go through the entire litany of potential options for you to try. I neither have the time nor the energy to try and list them all. Because some of the issues can be computer and driver related1) Reboot every thing- starting at the outside and working in. i.e. modem then router then repeater then computer.2) Set up the entire system without any encryption just to see what happens there.3) Return the unit before it gets too late.

Yes. I use it with Linux Mint and Kubuntu operating systems. I also have TrueCrypt on it and my files encrypted with TrueCrypt, using the universal version which allows access from both Windows and Linux computers. That's the encryption method you'd want where the files must be shared perhaps across more than Linux only or Windows only.

Donna, the Password Vault is the first version of the password storage device. It is no longer manufactured, at least I don't think it is. You imply that they can still be purchased so there might be some still out on the market or people who upgraded to the Password Safe, as I did, might be selling their old device. I paid the same price for the Vault years ago as I paid for the Safe earlier this year. The Password Safe is much easier to use. It's not perfect but it, as you might have read in other reviews, but it is still good once you get use to its few idiosyncratic operations. With the old Vault model data was entered similar to entering text on an old cell phone. For example, a "c" would be entered by pressing the #2 key three time, a letter "e" by pressing the #3 key twice. Data entry is much easier with the Safe's QWERTY keyboard. The Safe also has a search function, not available with the Vault, that is helpful when you have a lot of passwords and/or PINs. An idiosyncrasy with the search, however, is that it is case sensitive. Having worked many years in cyber security (now retired), I really like the security these devices offer. They are completely independent devices with no I/O ports. They not only store my user IDs and passwords but also ATM PINs, challenge code words, etc. Also, unlike software programs that store this information as encrypted data on your computer or multiple computers, the Safe holds the info on only one device that can easily be taken to wherever you happen to be computing. I hope this answered your question and was helpful.

I am not sure I understand your question? The device provides the options for various encryption methods thus it is user defined.

With the encryption constantly enabled on this USB flash drive, I would think it would not work. Even with the Drive formatted, it would not work.

According to the data sheet, the 7k3000 has a self-encryption option. I do not use it and cannot speak with certainty about this option. See data sheet here: http://www.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/EC6D440C3F64DBCC8825782300026498

I have no idea what encryption is so I guess I don't have it. I have a TP Link range extender working with my dsl wifi and it works flawlessly and does a super job. 2 bars increased to full power where I need it. My son set it up for me.

I am no technical wizard, but Belkin includes a code on a slip of paper that is cleverly inserted into slots in the base of the unit so that you won't loose it. There is also a guest password on the same paper. The password was easy to enter and all works well. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. The DTLPG3 encrypted secure flash drive is hardware encrypted and cannot be altered. The security program that runs in Windows or Mac that allows you access to the data partition on the drive is placed on a Read-Only partition. As such it cannot be formatted/removed so the drive would not be capable of being made into a linux boot drive. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

As far as I can tell, it would work. As ststed previously , not on an encrypted system.
