Hi, great reviews. But why you did not make some comparative test into Windows 7, Office, Photoshop etc. ?

Hi, how does the AES encryption feature works exactly ? I can’t find any informations about…

Do I need a special tool to access drive ? or will it ask password during bios POST ?
Can I reset the password ? or change without wiping data ?
What if I lose password ?
Can I use a file instead of passphrase (like truecrypt or luks allow) ?

Is it compatible with linux, mac OS ?
When using encryption, is there any performance affect ?

thanks…

Some IOPs that actually get near the OCZ Revo Drive II. Impressive!

Impressive numbers. I’m not planning to spend over 500$ for a 512GB version, but i’ll definitely buy a 256GB one. My HyperX 3K is down. Sorry my friend but’s time to be replaced. Now lets just hope that the price will drop.
