Can someone explain the "hd" password system to me? If you set a password
on the disk, does that filter down into the controller itself, such that
all referances to the disk are en/deciphered through some piece of hardware?
Thats what it sounds like to me. Thus, if you forget your HD password (or
if whatever memory holds it goes wonky), you'd be able to take that disk
out of the unit, stick it on some other computer, but reading it would be
gibberish.
Do I have that right? Am I missing anything? If I understand this right
its kinda neat, but you a REALLY trusting that magical piece of memory that
holds the disk pw to never get scrambled in any way...
