I'd love to hear a justification since apparently, that 'built-in super encryption' costs so much money versus the identical product minus the encryption. I want to make clear that I recognize that there may be something I'm fundamentally missing, and that this could be extremely useful for people with a lot of money and no trust in VeraCrypt, or who need the convenience that this (presumably) provides. I realize that trusting VeraCrypt in itself is also quite scary, even for me, but I somehow feel more confident about that software than I do about some company 'promising' that it's 'super duper encrypted with FIPS 140-2 Level 3, 256-bit AES-XTS'. Won't this thing actually age and become useless in regards to the encryption, whereas with VeraCrypt, you could re-encrypt it since it's all software? I don't want to sound either condescending nor ignorant, but why would even a very rich person pay such a premium for the 'encryption'? Is there any benefit to have it in hardware (presumably some kind of integrated micro-computer?) over just formatting the cheap one with VeraCrypt? Is the expensive one far more durable as well?
