Absolutely not.  I would be highly suspicious of using any such drive
for my hypothetical criminal activity, as a drive marketed as having
SD features might /really/ have some kind of covert channel
phone-home-to-Echelon feature allowing the spooks to 0wn the box
remotely.  Perhaps interfacing with the pc-speaker-as-microphone
feature.
