I tried that once. I was a bit surprised at how resistant the case turned out to be. I'm sure the drive didn't work when I was done, but I expected more mayhem and destruction.
Back on topic, I think the security benefits of drive encryption in the NAS are pretty limited, and for me they are not worth the trouble.
TPM would be a better solution, but it would add some platform cost.
I agree; it's actually dissapointing (surprising) TPM isnt an option in their business class devices. It should be standard at this point.
