Scenario: you have it stored in a safe place because its your backup "safe" drive. Your home is destoyed due to a fire or natural disaster and you have to live in a hotel for a week or so. In the meantime you retrieve your drive so you can get at your important docs - well here's the problem. You are using the hotels "business center" computer - you plug the drive in and your stuck because you need to be logged in as a "administrator" in order to enter your password. Bad news! I am able to use a thumb drive that I password protect as well as a regular 80 gig usb drive password protected without needing to be logged on as a admin.
