![]() HawkPE 4.3 - Presumably this is because the ISO is based on Windows XP and XP doesn't support live booting from USB media. Here's the operating systems(ISOs) I tested that didn't work: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 installation CD Windows 8.1 32 and 64-bit Installation DVDs Windows 8 32 and 64-bit Installation DVDs Windows 7 32 and 64-bit Universal Installation DVDs Parted Magic version dated June 15, 2013(last free edition) Here's the operating systems(ISOs) I tested that worked:įreeNAS 9.2.0 RELEASE 圆4 Installation CD Then choose to "boot from USB-CDROM" on your computer and you are done. Then you choose your ISO from the jog switch on the hard drive caddy and select it. ![]() All you have to do is power on your computer and go to your boot menu(F12 for my motherboard). For testing purposes I used USB2 since many OSes do not properly boot from USB3 devices. My test machine was an i7-870k based system with 8GB of RAM and both USB2 and USB3 ports. I couldn't find a way to determine the firmware version my device had, but I figured I'd update it to NTFS and then I'd know it was up to date. I chose NTFS since it supports >4GB support and is better supported under Linux than exFAT. You get to choose between an NTFS firmware and an exFAT/FAT32 firmware. You have 2 options(both are the same version # but offer different file systems to boot from). So, with those drawbacks I went with the VE300.įirst thing I did was update the firmware on the device. Note that if you do FDE with Truecrypt you obviously won't be able to boot ISOs anymore. If I want encryption I think something like Truecrypt might be a good alternative for some. Not a particularly great idea in my opinion. If something happens and the number buttons break apparently you will be unable to enter the PIN and therefore unable to access your data.forever. Review on Newegg and Amazon have lead me to believe that this may not be the best product as some people complained about the difficulty in entering the PIN on the pad. So while I do care about the USB3 functionality, its not a deal-breaker for me. Personally, I use USB2 mostly because many OSes don't like USB3 and will crash when booting from USB3. ![]() The VE300 has some people complaining about the USB3.0 port failing in less than a year and basically won't work except as a USB2 device. The VE200 had some issues with some people, but otherwise was a rather solid product. Adds AES-256 bit encryption with a pad to enter the "PIN" to unlock the drive. Offers USB3.0 only(obviously backwards compatible with older USB versions) There's several versions, the VE200, VE300, and VE400. GParted can be used on x86 and x86-64 based computers running Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, by booting from media containing GParted Live.In IRC over the last week there's been talk about the Zalman ZM-VE300.
