Now for the positives.
In addition to the Verschlüsslungsfeature (well resolved and thanks festlegbarem standby timeout of absolutely top plate) can and the promise of possibility ISO files to mount as a virtual USB CD-ROM device in addition also files with the extension .IMA (uncompressed disk images) .DSK (disk images) and provide .RMD (disk images as a removable disk) as virtual disks and boot from it also.
Furthermore, it should be noted that there is in each case a NTFS and FAT variant of the firmware. As standard, the NTFS version is flashed, which also works perfectly. If you want to have to present the files as described above from a FAT32 drive to flash the FAT variant of the firmware but better access to 4GB limit for the ISO files, so not recommended.
The VE400 Zalman is identical to the IODD 2541 and the firmware can play a trick. It should be said here that the Zalman original firmware is better.
In the manual is not described, that all images (except ISO) only via the "Advanced / Umount VHDD" menu can throw again.
In addition, the description that the "1" key to complete HDD carrier separates from the computer and the "3" key frame separates and connects again (eg if you have added new ISO files) is missing.
The function of the mounted in the housing reset button is also lacking in the description. (Press + Hold then infected device and continue to hold until the display is back to normal). A reset will reset the encryption (data loss). For non-active encryption all inserted virtual disks from the drives away (without data loss).
The image files must be on the hard disk at a time (contiguous), otherwise they do not work. This can be most easily accomplished "WinContig" with the tool.
More details I published in my blog. Just google for "PcFreak Blog VE400".
As photo I present here ready the complete menu tree as a JPG.
Because of the poor description and the non-documented features, there are only 4 stars. Otherwise an absolute buy recommendation.
