Yep. I use encrypted drives for my financial information and other sensitive information I store on behalf of family (e.g. legal docs), etc.

I wouldn't have a desire to reveal that either.

In my world, there is no such thing as an "encrypted drive" in that no drive is ever not encrypted. Other than booting, there is no reason for data to be stored unencrypted. Whether it's full disk, home-directory, or volume-based encryption, nothing should be in plaintext.

The only non-encrypted drive I need are thumbdrives for playing thing on my media player (WD). But I'd love to close that gap should anyone market a reasonable media player that can handle encrypted drives.
