I'll try to get back here to give some details after I've toyed with it a bit.

I've ordered one for testing and it should arrive next week. Out of the box, neither of them work with the OS they weren't designed for presumably because the encryption software would be a. There are PC and Mac versions so that implies that using them on Linux with full functionality probably won't be possible. That partition contains the encryption interface, so no software need be installed on the workstation.

Is there a way to make it work in Ubuntu? Also what kind of drivers does it require on every computer I want to plug it in to view the encrypted files? Thanks a lot in advance! On a more relevant note, supposedly, the drive mounts a utility partition when you plug it in.
