Shared drive w/ password?
Thanks for responding. I was hoping my thoughts on the issue were incorrect, but apparently not. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the Vantec adapter? Most of the time, these bad babies are used to move/copy data from a failing drive, as far as notebook computers are concerned. Based on your response, a user could simply install their HD in another nootbook, boot it, and copy the files to an attached external drive. If you boot a notebook, with the failing HD attached (using the vantec), would it not become part of the boot sequence and appear as just another drive on the system, requiring a password for access (like a shared drive)?
