Does the HS-210 support file system encryption in the US version?

Sorry, I cannot answer that question. I'm just becoming acquainted with the equipment myself. I find their support to be pretty well useless.

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

While I do not use Win 8.1, USB is supported across OS platforms as an independent standard. The file system formatting is FAT32, again recognized across Windows variants, including 8.1, and Unix variants, such as Linux, OSX, IOS, Android. Encryption is done in hardware with the PIN entry mechanically entered on the device before the computer ever sees it. You will not have a problem with Win 8.1 if any other USB device works.

What Tony said. I use GiliSoft USB Encryption software (not free). It allows me to secure as much of the drive as I want ans leave the rest unsecured. I've been very pleased with it.

Yes it is. I have it tied to a MiCasaVerde Vera via Z-Wave. It does need a certain firmware version (3.7 +) to work properly and some of the ones I had ordered last year still came with an old version. Schlage has exchanged them without any problems. They really have an excellent customer service. Highly recommended locks... Once you get it, check on the label which contains the master pin, the firmware version is listed there as well. Additional hint: It uses the Z-Wave Security classes and not all devices can relay those, so if your lock is far away from your Z-Wave master system, you need to make sure you have some nodes inbetween supporting this.

Yes that's true. It's the hc-05 and not the latest hc-06. It might not be compatible with some latest protocols.

As far as I can see the drive is normal laptop type drive in an external case. The setting appear to allow for a region code set.

I believe no because I don't see where the description of the 11247 at the Bosh site mentions that it uses SDS-Plus bits.

I have a mac book pro and it recognized the drive, and it showed up in the disc utility. I unfortunately, know nothing about encrypted files.

Yes you can, theres instructions in the box on how to sync all four with encryption as well.

This adapter does not encrypt anything. It is no different than a FireWire 400 to FireWire 800 adapter or USB to Mini USB. The functionality is simply to connecting a cable to a machine that does not natively support that cable. I have used this with my G-Raid, which still reads via FireWire 800. So far the adapter itself has not broken and still does it's function without issue.

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.

No, I have 2 sets right next to each other with no issues. They have unique encryption.

Hi Johanne, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. You can load any type of data on the drive, including pictures. This is a hardware encrypted drive that requires a password to be set up and entered everytime the drive is plugged into a computer. If you are looking for that added security for your photos than you found it. 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.

Apparently the answer is no. I was not interested in password protection so I did not look for that feature. There is nothing in the companion literature or on the drive itself that indicates my 16GB drives have this feature.

This device has no built in encryption options. You can however use additional software such as truecrypt to make the volume encrypted.

Yes, but it would be a waste, as many people have already said their are both free encryption software as well as a cheaper upgrade version of win 8 as you already have the regular version.
