Is it good or bad to have encryption? I always thought it was a good thing.

It's a bad thing, because you can't remove the drive and put it in another computer and if you the mainboard of the hard drive dies there's no way for you to recover your data even if the drive works.

It's bad, VERY bad. It doesn't serve a meaningful purpose at all. All it does it add another factor that could fail, taking all your data with it.

They claim they use hardware encryption to prevent theft, but.. How? If someone's going to steal your drive, they're not going to get their screwdriver and pry open the enclosure, carefully unplug the internal drive from it and leave the enclosure behind. They're going to steal the whole damn thing, since it's easier. Therefore they'll still have full access to all the hardware encrypted files as the encryption is done by the enclosure.

If you want to secure your data, you want software encryption.

The government has back doors on all encryption except defunt truecryt so its really just another annoying thing to be incompatible or way to lose your data imo
Yeah. It's a meaningless layer of DRM on your own files. Serves no purpose to the end user.
