I'm glad to hear a good review.  We're evaluating encryption solutions for
executives' memory sticks and laptops.  I think for memory sticks, we may
use IronKeys, which are easier to use.

Have you used the automount feature?   I'm testing it in Windows and
couldn't get it to work on a file enclosure.  I was wondering if it worked
on partition enclosures only.  (I haven't created a partition enclosure
yet.)

Thanks,

Andrew
