This does it in hardware and it doesn't need external software, and most companies dealing with sensitive data don't allow people to install software from USB drives. Disadvantage of course is that this probably has some master key they share with US federal groups.
they don't need to share any master key, when the password is digits it should only take a matter of minutes to bruteforce the key. it may take a bit to figure out how the pin number is hashed (if at all) but after that you could make a big ass list of precomputed keys for a very long list of pins.
that...or you throw some powder on the buttons see which ones have the most wear, and suddenly you narrow down your choices even more....
Wwhat, i get what you are saying, but most of these drives require you to run mount software anyway to key the data, usually they aren't smart enough to have a direct interface with the AES chip (simliar to the WD encrypted drives that came out a few years ago...chip encryption, software interface). TrueCrypt is portable anyway, and when dealing with sensitive data you always should have have administrative rights as well (for a number of reasons)
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
