    Who knows what this thing is doing inside? They're using AES-128 so you may not have to worry about the encryption algo being unsecure, but who's to say this thing isn't caching the password in some place you don't know about (but that the manufacturer and your country's authorities do)?

    I wonder what sector corruption does in CBC mode then? Lose more of the drive? Or have the used some overhead for extra forward error correction?
