So this chip encrypts before storing data on a HD. Thats' fine with
me, because there is no logic inside the drive involved. If the drive
would contain the "encryption algorithms", so that I cannot run a
"free" OS on it, then I would be concerned.

What I really _do_ hate is the "Advertisment insertion" paragraph.
