A new definition of multiple-drive storage

The new Freecom DataTank provides you with up to 2 TeraByte (2000 GB) of hard drive storage capacity! The ideal platform to store all your valuable data on. The easy to use configuration tool allows you to choose between RAID 0 (striping, combines the capacity of both disks into one volume; you will see the total capacity
as one driveletter in your operating system), RAID 1 (mirroring, one disk copies the other automatically, so you always have a safe copy of your data;You will see one driveletter in your operating system for half of the total drive capacity) or JBOD (dual drive letter, both disks will appear as separate drive letters in your operating system). Large storage capacity is one thing, but what about security? Freecom offers the first drive with an Encryption button; at the touch of this button you can access a password protected encrypted partition on the DataTank, your data is encrypted in 128 bit AES standard, which was developed in close cooperation with the US government and is widely recognized as impossible to crack. The DataTank also features Freecom’s SYNC button, for synchonizing files between computer and DataTank and vice versa. Equipped with Hi-speed interfaces, the Freecom DataTank gives you speed, space and security, all in one device! At Freecom we create storage solutions from a user’s perspective, where convenience and quality are key factors.

I brought one of these as I have now built what I consider to be a supercomputer (I wont bore you with the specs) and I wanted to backup all my family photo's, video's, OS, and anything else I considered important.

The drive itself is usb plug and play so Vista 64bit recognised it immidiatly as a 2Tb drive and basicly its ready to use, then I installed the drivers and that is where my problems began, it installed with no problems and asked me to reboot my system, on rebooting the drivers had disabled everyone of my usb ports for some reason, so nothing worked, i.e. my keyboard, mouse, or any of my usb connected stuff, after 2 hours of scratching my head I had to rollback my system to before the driver install and use the drive as it is without any drivers.

Freecom's tech support is not much better to be honest with you and I have given up ever using this drive with the drivers.
