that's surely is some kind of primo BS. how can be this required in case I buy a storage, that complies with the standards (e.g. SATA). yeah they may patent some BS like flash in the disk drive (what kind of rocket-science idea it is!) and its usage to boot an os, but how can they restrict a simple usage of the storage through the standard interface? what if i don't install an os onto it and just use it as storage?
