[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 951515, member: 24160"] Yes, I would say the security scheme of the drive is the issue. Per it's documents, it requires a system BIOS that supports ATA security commands. As a hardware based full disc encryption drive, it only works with a BIOS that supports it's use. (Sorry, didn't even think of that or look up your drive. We only see about 1 post a year with someone trying to use a hardware based encryption drive. While there may be some, have not seen any of these that will work on a Mac.) [/QUOTE]
