    Have had the unit for a month+. It works, and the auto-encryption is super, but if want your drive to there all day every day, move on! You have to pull power on this unit at least 3 times a day (full day of use), for your system to recognize it and allow you to access it properly. It will show you the contents but no go on access/delete/add until a power cycle. Then ok most times. Had to do a system check and it found errors (repaired them). I'm done.
