Is this a Self Encrypting Drive? (the last digit of the part number seem so imply such)

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

This is an Ultrastar k3000 family. According to HGST (http://www.hgst.com/hard-drives/self-encrypting-drives) this family is not self encrypting. k4000, 6000, H6 and H8 are.

Everything gets automatically encrypted as you write the files/folders to the jump drive. I havent noticed an lag/unusually slow write speeds because of this.

no. mine works, i mean turns on, vista sees, etc, but not even close to fully and properly. if you are trying to do a backup, try something different. in the encrypted mode, i can't even write additional files to the drive.

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.

yes it is. we are an apple authorized repair facility and I sell and install these drives all the time. Hope this answers your question.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, the drive is for a Drobo Raid and it's not something that concerned me when I made the purchase. It was however physically an exact match to the Older drive it replaced, I hope that helps.

No on board software for that. You can get software separately. However, I use mine both encrypted and not. The bulk of my data (photos, reading/reference, tools and such) do not need encryption. I do, however, keep my financial info on there encrypted by using a free tool called TrueCrypt.

Hi D. Petitpas,I was wondering if anyone would ever reply to my post. I didn't know that these drives were shipped pre-formated and I don't think that it is listed in it's description here on Amazon. Thank you so very much for setting me straight!

Yes it is. I suggest using the SHR (1-disk protection) volume type, unless you have or want the SHR2 (2-disk protection)

Yes. You can encrypt the data on the drive. The Synology website has a step-by-step tutorial on the process: https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/tutorials/455

Yes. I have done that on some SanDisk USB drives that I do not want password protected.

this is a complete covered drive. you don't get what they show in the picture. I have no idea why they show harddrives this way..

The encryption is handled by the hardware. You do not need to do anything or install anything for it to work.

I encrypted mine. You need to set it up as GUID partition Table. Go into Disk Utility, select the drive, drop down From Partition Layout Current to Partitions 1 (you can rename it in the top right). Then select Options, and select GUID partition table. Please note that you will lose all data on the drive doing this, so back it up first, then you can copy it over once you have set up the drive for encryption. Once Disk Utility finishes, right click on the drive and you can encrypt the drive from the drop down options. FYI - It does reduce disk speed a bit.

Looks like they are using Hitachi. One of my enclosures stopped working so I opened up the case to remove the drive and installed in my computer as an additional internal drive. The drive itself is still working perfectly fine some 4+ years later.

It has no encryption or password protection built-in. You want a Data Traveler Locker drive for that.

nope, your drive should be fine. These used to be shown as being OEM (NOT Retail packaging) shipped drives, but I don't see that now. So, if you were expecting a retail box, then return it; otherwise there are no differences.
