Thanks, Matt is the data automatically saved in aes encryption or is there a special way to say the data so that it is encrypted. if anyone knows help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Therefore, once it's formated, the only recoverable information would still be the encrypted bits. The reason it gives you 10 attemps is to give room for error while discouraging a weak attacker to perform a simple dictionnary attack. However, a really smart attacker will be able to use the raw encrypted bits to perform either bruteforce attacks or number crunching. However, given the key lenght (256 bit), it will take literally centuries before they can break it. If there is no flaw in the implementation of the encryption scheme, there is no realistic way of recovering the data.

Can you conform that it does NOT overwrite the data on the stick? If this is the case, could a non-trusted source just be able to enter the password 10 times, re-format the drive, and use a drive recovery tool (eg. Data Rescue, Rescue PRO, etc.) to obtain the orginal data? If so... be warned.
